The Colors of Fritillaria

Well, negative in the sense that individuals and their genes are being
taken out of the pool, rather than having enhanced reproduction. You could
have both at once, duller colored Fritillarias in the wild (yellows
removed), and brighter ones in cultivation (yellows preferentially
propagated).

Humans are certainly big drivers of change...either on purpose, or by
default or unconscious actions.

Warm, sunny, and still dry in San Francisco. Irrigating the Mediterranean
geophytes.
