Thanks Nhu, it never occurred to me to think a Jepson Manual would be online! From the page, it looks like we are too high for it to grow wild, but I will check with local, federal botanist to see if they have seen any. Thanks for offering to keep your eye out, I can see you out there with pods firing at you :) I will post what I find out.

I'll have to keep an eye out for seeds, but after all, it is Cardamine and the pods explode.
