Lilium pitkinense

Hi Mary Sue and All:

Lilium pitkinense is often sold as L. pardalinum ssp. giganteum. It has
been sold locally by the California Native Plant Society under that name. It
is easy to propagate vegetatively since it has an unusual stoloniferous
growth, but because of this - beware!!! The plants I purchased some years
ago from CNPS were virused, and I have seen others that show signs of virus.
The Berkeley Botanical Garden and the Tilden Park Botanical Garden usually
sells seed every year.

Dear All,

Last night we took another picture of Chlorogalum which better illustrates
how it looks when the flowers are open. It is still hard to photograph,

but

you get the idea.

Today I also added text to the Lilium wiki page and pictures of Lilium
columbianum which we saw along the road in large numbers on our trip last
week (north of Eureka). These were much more orange than the one pictured
already on the wiki. Also my Lilium pitkinense is blooming for the first
time so added a picture of it. There is only one flower. This is a very
rare lily known from only two spots in the wild. Most of its habitat is
gone. I bought one at a native nursery several years ago and this is the
first bloom.
