In case some of you have not made the connection, Mary Gerritsen is one of
the authors of the Calochortus book published this year by Timber
Press. It includes descriptions, color photos, habitat and cultivation
information about every major group and species. Mary has spent
considerable time adding a lot of really valuable information about this
genus to the wiki and resizing and renaming her pictures so they could be
added to the wiki. Most of her pictures were taken in habitat as she has
traveled to find the different species. New species added are Calochortus
balsensis, Calochoruts cernus, Calochortus davidsonianus, Calochortus
exilis, Calochortus fuscus, Calochortus greenei, Calochortus
hartwegii, Calochortus leichtlinnii, Calochortus mendozae, Calochortus
nigrescens, Calochortus ownbeyi, Calochortus persistens, Calochortus
pringlei, Calochortus purpureus, Calochortus spatulatus, and Calochortus
subalpinus. In addition she has added habitat shots of some of the species
already on the wiki. And there is more to come. For Calochortus enthusiasts
everywhere it is wonderful to have this information be so readily
available. Thank you Mary.
