Calochortus Hybrids

Dear All:
I haven't seen too many hybrids on my wanderings, except for hybrids between
C. luteus and C. superbus. These are extremely common where their ranges
overlap. I grew a large pot full of hybrid bulbs from one seed pod from a
wild hybrid (these are not sterile, obviously), and the color range was
amazing - all shades of white through cream, pale yellow to deep yellow.

Dear All,
A number of years ago Mike Mace tried to create hybrids between the
different groups. I think he reported that when they bloomed, they didn't
look like hybrids, but like one of the species. Mike, if you are paying
attention to this discussion, can you comment.
I was amused to just see that Bob Werra's post was just rejected by a
Queensland email program because it "was found to contain inappropriate
content". This email program has also rejected a number of Jim McKenney's
posts so apparently has a high standard for acceptable language.
Perhaps it is the common name of C. tolmiei that is the problem? I guess
we
need to stick to cat's ears.
