We have had a lot of discussion about the weedy members of this genus. I certainly have the weedy ones in my pots and I'm trying very hard to keep up with weeding them. But, I would like to steer your attention to a geophytic member of this genus, Cadamine californica or Milkmaids. It has rhizomes that are tuber-like and goes completely dormant in the summer. The fleshy and often times mottled leaves appear with rainfall and is one of the very first plants to bloom in Spring in northern California. Unlike its cousins, the flowers are quite large (~1/2 inch or 1.5 cm) and stems can be >2ft (~70 cm) tall. It is found throughout California (except the desert), southern Oregon, and Baja California (=California Floristic Province). We have a page for it on the wiki. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Nhu
