A large flowered species from California with bright pink to rose-purple perianths in 7 cm large umbels on 20-25 cm scapes. The tepals are in two distinct series with the inner tepals enclosing the cream-colored anthers in an urn-like floret. The broader, outer tepals form a bowl-like floret surrounding the inner tepals. Not very sel;ective relating soil - there are populations growing on dry sandy soils developed from eroded granite and on heavy clay grounds. During summer rest needs dry conditions, so growable only in pots.
