Calochortus catalinae

Common Name: Catalina Mariposa Lily

Common on grassy hillsides with heavy soil, this species is a post-fire pioneer. Mariposa is Spanish for butterfly, and perhaps describes the way these flowers appear from a distance to be suspended or flying above the ground.

At CSUCI observed flowering in mid-February and on.
