The picture referenced above is 'barely yellow' and 'Sacajewea' is paler still. The question was posted as to what species 'Sacajewea belongs too. I understood it to be C. leichtleinii, but the picture is dead on. I'm convinced. Best Jim W. ps Although Camassia l. does well here and I have now three forms- typical violet, blue and cream - so far I get no seed produced. I can see why this would be if each color form was self-sterile, and perhaps the three are too spread out across my acre garden to reduce the chance of cross pollination. Just curious. Hope someone will donate seed from wild populations to the PBS Seed Ex. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
