From Ron's 2004 list: 04-82 Calochortus venustus Central Sierra Nevada, Fresno Co., CA. 5640'. 40/$4.00. 75/$7.00. This may be the most variable form I have seen. Starting with a few whites with intricate inner markings, then pale yellow through coppery apricot individuals with deep red eyespots and darker striations, the colors continue through orange-red to dark red-burgundy, darker than the Mt. Pinos form. Exposed rocky embankments on granitic substrate. Mixed conifer/black oak forest. A more hardy population, at least to zone 6. ========= Paige Woodward paige@hillkeep.ca http://www.hillkeep.ca/
