"When I am in an area with ripe seeds, I spread them around to suitable areas nearby that are lacking the target plant. Maybe other people do that, too." Diane Whitehead Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Diane, I doubt it is the case here. Seedlings of Erythronium and Dichelostemma show up everywhere, but especially in deep shade under trees where not so many plants reach blooming size. Not really the most suitable planting areas, but suitable enough to germinate the seeds I suppose. -Travis Owen Rogue River, OR http://amateuranthecologist.blogspot.com/
