Excellent, Mike. Thanks! Ring Mountain is another nice place but we'll probably be too early for it. We may be able to catch some Calochortus umbellatus and Allium lacunosum and maybe some Triteleia/Brodiaea but most of the geophyte action don't occur until late May-June. On Mt. Diablo we should be able to see everything that I've listed at the end of April. We may be able to see C. amabilis as well and there is a very slim possibility of seeing Calochortus luteus and C. venustus and the buds of C. albus will wave at you in maddening jest. The latter 3 usually appear in late May. Nhu On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 11:14 AM, Michael Mace <michaelcmace@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi, Nhu. > > Your plan sounds great!
