 These aren't Brodiaea, but fine examples of short legs. This is another of the perennial herbs that arise from a bulb like corm and are found in the driest of spots in western North America. The purple-blue flowers of Brodiaea coronaria are atop a smooth stalk about 10-30cm tall. There are much shorter species of Brodiaea and those are what we named our first corgi after for their short and stocky "legs".
