I love the picture and had to chuckle at the name and description. That is truly an unjust name for such a beautiful flower!

Trisha, because of the angle and closeup, the blue dick looks much larger than in real life. An agapanthus (you spelled it right) gets up to 6 feet in height but a blue dick is only about a foot and a half tall. Here are a couple of photos of one from the Yosemites–this variety is a bit bluer than what I took a photo of. I think they are both in the lily family though
Thank you. I will look for this flower when I am out walking. Now I know to look down near my feet!

are u trying! to bait me and ernie into saying something we shouldn’t? i have been chanting hale’s “i am an adult, i am an adult…” but i am not able to convince myself of that. ok, let us go with my deviant mind’s option #3:
may i suggest that this flower would thrive with some companion planting…perhaps a pink lady?
The flower or the cocktail? Either way, it’s a good thing.

I am an adult. I am an adult. I am a…. Oh, heck. I think a pink lady would be very appropriate especially considering that most of the people I knew called them Naked Ladies.
when those nekkid ladies get tired of ol’ blue dich….they might really swoon for an amorphallus and that the long spadex inside the enormous maroon-lipped spathe.
I’m an adult, I’m an Adult… oh heck I’ll never grow up… darn.
There is a whole genus of mushrooms called “Genus Phallus”. I would provide a link, but it is too intimidating to me. If you just have to see them, you can Google them yourself!
I can’t even repeat in polite company what we used to call a whole variety of those little blue flowers. But, it was racially insensitive, and it had to do with toes. I have grown up a little bit, and I know enough not to give anyone a handle on me to grab for using thoughtless language.

The Dichelostemma Capitatum has an edible corm that the the 1st peoples of California ate wherever they were found: Atsugewi women dug them on the volcanic slopes of Mount Lassen; Paiute women irrigated patches of them in the sandy soils of the Great Basin; Ohlone women uprooted them in the clay soils of the Sand Francisco Bay area.4″ from M. Kat Anderson’s “Tending the Wild”, Native American Knoledge and the Management of California’s Natural Resources, pg 42
It is also called a Wild Hyacinth.

Thank you all for the ample warning that this is an adult topic. That said, I will admit to eating blue dicks (Kat Anderson’s book is an excellent reference for native food). But I’ve never tasted buckeye balls.
Perhaps another suitable companion plant for naked ladies and blue dicks would be cleavers herb– also known as bedstraw. When the velcro-like seedpods mature and twist up your socks into dread-rags, I’ve heard them called “mother-f*@$#!rs”.
Male gardeners will tell you that little clumps of blue bells are often found near the base of the the blue dichelostemma, particularly in alaska. (kato made me say that)

what’s the botanical name?
Dichelostemma pulchellum
I think that dick is shortened from dichelostemma but I’m not sure.

The photo of this flower reminds me of agapanthus (sp?) I wonder if they are related. What does the rest of the plant look like?

These are beautiful Kym! However, I would gladly pummel the moron who named them!
PS – This must have been taken in Alaska, as everybody knows that blue dick occurs naturally in cold climates!! (sorry – couldn’t help myself)
Repeat after me, “I am an adult. I am an adult.”

Kym, think you need to link this discussion to your mistletoe entry?
Olman, you can’t blame your postings on me; take responsibility for your own “blue bells”.
Turns out, what I’ve been digging up in the summers is a brodeia: good raw, good roasted, too.
According to the SPCA…
“Additional Common Names: Wild Hyacinth
Scientific Name: Hookera pulchella
Alternate Scientific Names: Brodiaea pulchella, Dichelostemma pulchellum
Family: Amaryllidaceae”
A hookera pulchella named blue dick?!
My blue bells are named’chi-chi’,…. and not to be confused with dwarf blue bells!

Didn’t mean to bust your bells, there, olman.
Think the SPCA will accept petitions for name changes? (Who are they, anyway? The Society for the Prevention of Crudity to Amaryllis?)

So you heard from them too?!
I would say more but I woke up feeling a litle purple, and blockheaded, and I can/t get the grimace? off my face….you seem to be happy enough tho.?

I’m experimenting with the faces. I’m not sure how I feel yet. It cracks me up that you are so angry looking though!
