Where are all our experts when you need one?"
We had a talk about the Flora of North America at our native plant
society December meeting by one of the women who was instrumental in
starting this project and is still working on it. Most of the work is
being done by volunteers. They probably had their hands full without
including Mexico. It's a very large project that is taking a long
time. I came away from her talk impressed with all the time these
dedicated people were spending and that years later many of the
original volunteers were still involved. She is currently out of town
but when she gets back I'll ask her why Mexico was not included.
Once again I'll give a plug to Jane McGary's (editor) Bulbs of North
America which although it mainly deals with bulbs from Canada and the
United States does include some Mexican plants as well.
