What is DichelostiMma?

Dichelostemma is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the Thetidaceae family. There are seven recognized species of dichelostemma , all of which are originally from the Western region of the United States. All species of this genus can be identified by their permanent corn or small bulbs that produce a central stem for a bell -shaped flower with a deep gear. There are three species of this genus, which are particularly common, including blue birds ( dichelostemma capitaum ), flip flops ( dichelostma ida-maia ), and ookow ( Dichelosta . centimeters) when it reaches maturity.M ten blue or purple flowers. Each flower has deeply recorded sticks that are characteristic of the family dichelostemma . Blue birds were used by various Indian tribes for their high -maintenance underground corn.

Flower plants of flip flops usually occur along the borders of forests and coastal pastures along the west coast of the United States. This species is named after its long tubular flowers, which are colored bright red with a jagged rod that resembles the frog wick. Healthy flip flops can easily produce clusters of 20 to 25 individual flowers. Long, thin flowers of this plant are pollinated by hummingbirds and are long -term.

Ookow plant is originally from the Pacific coast of the United States, where you can find growing from Washington via Central California. This plant produces a flowering stem that can reach a height of up to 3 -features (about 1 meter) at ripeningthose. Ookow flowers are connected to the stem of the plant, which makes this plant immediately distinguishable from other types of dichelostemma when it is in flower.

These types of dichelostemmas are sometimes spreading by collecting seeds or dividing corn for use in wild domestic gardens. Dichelostemmas prefer a shady area that is well drained and contains a lot of fresh organic matter in the soil. These plants can quickly assert themselves with minimal amounts of care. The soil surrounding the plant should be left to dry completely when it entered the dormancy for the summer and regularly connected during the growing season.
