Back from California


Iris kirkwoodii

Nice to find this surprise waiting for me.

Got to do a little botanizing in lake county.



Calochortus amabalis
On konocti mt. Growing in grass on the edge of chapparel bordered on walnut groves.



Fritillaria agrestis
Same location as above.



Anyone know what this is? Would be pretty cool in a rock garden.

Rainy, soggy, wet...that's the forecast.

Cheers,

Mark
