Calochortus book is a good read!

I bought "Calochortus" by Gerritsen and Parsons. It is packed with
botanical and historical information about Calochortus, and has
wonderful detailed pictures of them. I checked the details of some of
those I do know, and they seem right on target. The authors have done a
wonderful job! Do read it if you love Calochortus or all of the Liliaceae.
