The summer bulbs

Calochortus clavatus ssp.clavatus

Not an easy one to photograph. Just a little catalog update here. I hope to start harvest sometime around the first of August. It's a busy summer for me so it may be a bit shorter list then usual but hopefully we will dig up some treasures that everyone seeks.

Summer is here with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s....the berries are coming on strong now!

Cheers,
Mark
