Camassia

Diana,
A few years back a friend shared with me a small bulb he had collected in NE
Mexico, maybe in Tamaulipas. It had pink flowers and seemed similar to
Camassia scilloides. I've since lost it but the aptly named C. scilloides
grows perfectly well as a winter grower, even though it was originally
gathered near Uvalde, Texas.

I don't know how to upload to the wiki, but I have just posted a picture of
a pink flowered Camassia leichtlinii on my blog:
http://www.thebulbmaven.typepad.com/. Has anyone ever seen a pink flowered
Camassia
before? Mine originated in Oregon, and apparently the parent population
was
wiped out by road widening.
There are also some lengthy postings on Calochortus, which are blooming
now.
