Someone should contact Ron Parsons, one of the authors of the Calochortus book. He has a passion for this genus and probably has contacts who could help. Here's his contact info: Ron Parsons 104 Claremont Ave. South San Francisco, CA 94080 650-873-2495 email: flowershots@hotmail.com I don't know how often he checks his email.

Folks, The note below came into the Pacific Bulb Society mailbox. I have asked her for more details on the situation, but in the meantime do you have any advice for her? People she should contact? I know there have been rescue and relocation efforts in the past with other Calochortus species. Does anyone know how they worked out? Thanks, Mike =============== This is a message from the PBS website for mikemace. Sorry if this isn\'t the correct forum for questions, but will try anyway - we are working on a project involving a wetland in Lake Isabella, CA where there exists a known population of alkali mariposa lily. We would like to learn if anyone has experience with successful transplanting of this bulb. We have tried contacting the local botanist who apparently does annual surveys, but so far to no avail. Any information you may have and would be willing to share would be most appreciated. Thank you very much. We got a reference (well, sort of - had to do some exploring) to your society from Glenn Keator. Again. thank you. sincerely, Jane E. Miller Partner / Horticulturist 2M Associates
