I bought "Calochortus" by Gerritsen and Parsons. It is packed with 
botanical and historical information about Calochortus, and has 
wonderful detailed pictures of them. I checked the details of some of 
those I do know, and they seem right on target. The authors have done a 
wonderful job! Do read it if you love Calochortus or all of the Liliaceae.
