Calochortus

Our Calochortus wiki pages have always been full of wonderful
information and photographs. Mary Gerritsen, co author of a book on
Calochortus, spent many hours adding information and photographs to our
wiki pages. You can read about her and find links on her Contributors page.

Michael Mace, long time wiki contributor/adminitrator, added a lot of
information about cultivation, links to other resources, and information
about various species. Mike is an especially good story teller and I
remember enjoying reading about his discovery of one of the unusual
looking species, Calochortus tiburonensis, now archived.

Travis Owen added links to Kipp McMichael's discussions of his trips to
find Calochortus in the wild.

David Pilling, Kipp, and I have recently spent a lot of time on new
additions to the Calochortus wiki pages. We were able to secure
permission from editors Hugh McDonald, Georgie Robinett, and Diana
Chapman to add the issues of  Mariposa, the newsletter of the
Calochortus Society, a quarterly issued between 1989 and 2005. Kipp made
each scanned issue searchable and I added text and an index to the
Mariposa page and links from each species to the specific issue in which
it was discussed along with information about additional species and the
Robinetts. Hugh McDonald's photos from his trips were no longer on the
web and David made a new gallery of them arranged by Ownbey's
classification.

Without a doubt our wiki pages are the best source of information on
Calochortus on the Internet.

We don't want to take the server down so ask those Calochortus fans not
to download all the issues of Mariposa on the same day, but to enjoy
them over a period of time.
