Hi Liz,
There probably will be some Calochortus venustus in flower =
around then in the bulb bed. However, it is getting late,
and we =
don't have all that many to begin with - it being such a
difficult =
genus to maintain alive in cultivation.
I expect in the wild there may still be some too, of a
number =
of species, but overall it is getting late and one would
likely =
search for them on North slopes and moist soils - or higher
elevation.
If your friend Fran does come here, she should also visit
the =
Tilden Garden (East Bay Regional Parks Botanical Garden
((EBRPBG).) =
They have more species in cultivation than we do, and may
have some =
in flower. Their climate is a little hotter though, so
it'll be late =
there too.
Best,
Roger
