Dear All, A number of us have mentioned in the past that we have been very pleased with the seeds we have obtained from Northwest Natives. This seed is wild collected by Ron Ratko from the Northwestern United States. He travels every year during the flowering season and doesn't necessary visit the same places every year. He has wonderful descriptions of the plants he sells, includes the year he collected so if he still has seed from past year's you will know that, and tells about the habitat including elevation which gives you valuable information about whether you might be able to grow these plants. A lot of seed this year was collected in California. There are quite a few Alliums, Calochortus, etc. This year's catalog is available as an attachment. If you are interested in getting it, please contact Ron at mailto:oreonana@mbay.net and ask him to send it to you. He says he will only have a limited printed catalog this year. Mary Sue
