Hi everyone, Here is a bit of supplemental information about the Calochortus seeds: A packet of the Calochortus seeds was recently passed on to me. It turned out that the seeds came from Ron Ratko of Northwest Native Seeds (NNS). These were the leftovers and is most likely the absolute last chance to get such a wonderful variety of wild-collected seeds, so I thought I'd pass them on to the BX. They are mostly from 2004 and 2005 but Calochortus seeds are known to have a long shelf life. Stratification codes: (Y) = yes, (R) = recommended, (N) = not necessary. The seeds may sprout in the fridge so it's good to check them periodically. I have included some relevant information but if you're interested in more detailed descriptions of these items, please consult Ron's old catalogs. Happy sowing!
