Thanks Eugene:

I'll see if our library can obtain a copy through inter-library loan.

To the list: Apologies for the [Possible Spam] identification on posts returned by me to the list. We have a new email server with a better filter to delete spam before it arrives in my inbox (recent weekend 603 out of 648 emails received were spam). To identify legit senders we are supposed to reply and the filter automatically adds the sender to the 'approved' list. For some reason it appears it is having a tough time accepting the pbs lists address.

Claude Barr's Jewels of the Plains may be worth looking at. The book is
probably out of print, but I've seen it in libraries.

Hi Diana:

Can you refer me to anyone who has grown the high elevational =
Calochortus in the upper Midwest?

Many thanks,

Boyce

Dear Mary Sue and All:

I haven't yet brought my more difficult Calochortus species to bloom, =
but I
did conduct a little experiment with C. leichtlinii. I refrigerated =
half
the bulbs each winter, but left the rest outside in our mild winters =
where
we experience very little frost, and few nights even near freezing. The
refrigerated bulbs were much more vigorous when they came into growth =
and
bulked up at a much greater rate. In fact, the unrefrigerated bulbs did =
not
seem to increase in size hardly at all.

It is likely that Jane gets enough winter chill for her high altitude =
bulbs,
even though her climate doesn't come close to the Great Basin =
conditions, or
conditions at 6000'. I don't think any bulbs (or plants) actually need
freezing temperatures, but may need a certain amount of time at =
temperatures
between freezing and about 40F - that's why chilling crocus and tulip =
bulbs
in the refrigerator works. We had discussed some time back winter chill
needs of other plants, such as fruit trees, since this has been studied
extensively, and I believe one of our more knowledgeable members =
contributed
information regarding this. Winter conditions where I live are very =
mild -
not exactly warm, but probably not cold enough for some of the high =
altitude
Calochortus species to get the requisite number of hours of winter =
chill,
although that very likely will vary according to species.

Diana
