Thanks, everyone, for the great feedback. What a cool group this is! Donald wrote: >> Sorry I missed a few emails. But are you trying to learn how to salvage calochortus bulbs? Or how to do it from a legal sense on a large scale? I think it's more of the former (salvage or relocation). I don't have much detail on what's happening, but the person who contacted me is a landscape architect. Reading between the lines, I *guess* that they are in the early stages of a project that might disturb a stand of C. striatus, and they want to know what the prospects are for relocating the bulbs. Whether that means relocating the bulbs within the site, or to a different location, I do not know. [By the way, before anyone gets upset about this relatively scarce species being disturbed, I think the architect deserves credit for reaching out to us. Most would probably be tempted to tell no one, attract no attention, and go forward with the project. So please let's not create a kerfuffle about this.] Any thoughts or experiences from relocating or rescuing wild Calochortus bulbs would probably be helpful. I know it's been done with other species in the genus, but I do not know how well it worked. Thanks, Mike
