Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight. Rossiter Worthington Raymond  |
| Erythronium 'Pacific Sunset Strain' From the amazing Plantswoman Diana Reeck, these are insanely beautiful little gems, you really should see her raised beds chocked full of them with hundreds of flowers.
I was thinking about those T. kurabayashii that seem to spreading now, just a thought, but someone that gets to do science should do some genetic work on those, my guess is T. kurabayashii is actually a spontaneous genetic sport of T. albidum that could perhaps be induced by some environmental factor like a changing climate. That would explain it showing up well outside of it's range all of a sudden and the population I found is intermixed with T. albidum. Let the plant mutations begin!
Rainy in the valley, but temperatures seem to have moderated to spring like, at least it's in the upper 50's.
Cheers,
Mark
