I uploaded a large series of pictures from our trip to Death Valley last weekend onto the Desert Wildflowers page of the wiki <http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> for those of you who wanted to see a virtual trip to the flowering desert. Like Jane we didn't encounter any geophytes, but it was spectacular nonetheless. --Lee Poulsen Pasadena area, California, USDA Zone 9-10
