I have a dark blue-violet camas that came to me abt. 15 years ago
with a cultivar name that I have forgotten. It was, iirc (if I recall
correctly), Princess this or Queen that. I don't think it was a
Duchess or a Countess.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? I've googled and found nothing
helpful.
It is possible that the name I received it under was garbled or
wrong. After all there is Brodiaea laxa 'Queen Fabiola' and Colchicum
'Princess Astrid' and one of these names may have been erroneously
transferred to the camas I have.
This dark blue-violet camas I have is shorter than the usual C
leichtlinii native to this area. It does not set seed, unlike the
wild camas bulbs I have brought into my garden.
