All ~75 species of Calochortus—including mariposa lilies, globe lilies, and star tulips—are native to western North America and Central America. About 40% grow on or are endemic to serpentine soils, which are especially abundant in California.

Calochortus luteus also up in the serpentine zones of the Oakland hills right now. Crazy to think of what the serpentine wildflower display must have been like before the Oakalnd hills got developed and homes covered up these highly selective soils #calochortus #oakland #wildflowers

splendid mariposa lily (Calochortus splendens) with California fairy bee (Perdita californica) grown and photographed by Robin Street-Morris
Here's splendid #mariposa lily (Calochortus splendens) and a California fairy #bee (Perdita californica) pollinator. It's the first time this bulb has bloomed in the garden from seed I sowed at least three years ago. Both the #pollinator and plant are Bay Area-ish to Baja natives.

So, here's a botanically nerdy quiz. Can anyone tell me why I'd take this particularly angled shot of this species of Mariposa lily (Calochortus)?

A white three-petaled lily with a reddish dot on each petal, backed by a yellow wash, and the bottom of the bowl is covered in tiny red flecks. There is a black, long-legged beetle bridging two petals.
The beautiful mariposa lilies are blooming, and this one has a charming friend therein.
😍🥰🥳
