Greetings,

  I've been blessed with unexpected extra free time this Calochortus season so I was just able to make a trip to the Eastern Sierra and Northern Arizona. I was lucky to find 2 mass blooms - one of C. kennedyi and one of C. flexuosus.  I had never seen flexuosus in person before. In addition, I caught another first-sight of Calochortus aureus in Canyon de Chelly. It was early for that taxon but a perfect canyon-rim microhabitat delivered an early bloom.

  I'm driving to Yellowstone at the end of the month and hope to catch more of the Great Basin/Mountain West taxa I haven't yet seen. I've updated the album:
