#TecophilaeaCyanocrocus AKA #ChileanBlueCrocus. This particular cultivar is ‘Leichtlinii’. This plant is absolutely stunning and it smells sort of like a freesia. I’ve been so pleasantly surprised by how many blooms it’s put out & it’s been easy to care for. The species was actually thought to be extinct in the wild for many years due to overcollection and habitat destruction but it’s been found in the wild again. This is a bulb grown by #TelosRareBulbs. #tecophilaea #tecophilaeacyanocrocusleichtlinii #tecophilaeaceae #geophytes #bulbs #corms #andeanflora #floraoftheandes #chileanflora #nofilter #alpineplants #monocots (at San Diego County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ8cQlmL-aI/?utm_medium=tumblr
