Calochortus at Salt Point State Park

Hi Bob:

Beautiful plant and images.

Does anyone have any idea what evolutionary function (if any) the 'hairs' on
the leaves serve?

We haven't tried this species but we have tried other commercially available
Calochortus at Chicago Botanic Garden with disappointing results.

Many thanks for sharing,

Boyce Tankersley

Last week our local hiking group wandered along the northern part of Salt
Point State Park and found thousands of Calochortus tolmiei in bloom.
