Dear All, Bob Werra has sent me some CDs of pictures he has taken, most of them recently, of some of the flowers in his collection. Most of the pictures are of Moraeas, Romuleas, and Gladiolus, but there are some pictures he took at the Jepson Prairie of Fritillaria liliaceae and some other California Fritillaria species as well. As I have time I will be downsizing them and adding them to the wiki. I split up the Moraea pages alphabetically as we do want people to find the pictures and the first lot I'm announcing are N-Z. Bob has some nice close-ups and I've often included a picture of the pot that shows the flowers in relation to the leaves. On the link below look for his very nice picture of Moraea thomasiae, Moraea tricolor (which I have tried over and over again from seed, purchased bulbs and am probably on Tony Avent's three tries and you are out), and Moraea tulbaghensis. The close up of that is quite nice even if he admitted to cheating a bit. He has sent me some very nice pictures of M. neopavonia, now considered to be included in M. tulbaghensis by Manning and Goldblatt and illustrated on our wiki by Lyn Edwards. A lot of people still keep the old name on their tags since the two are a bit different. I'll add pictures of them later. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… I think this means we can look forward to adding to our Calochortus wiki page this summer as Bob grows a lot of them too. How many Calochortus venustus pictures do you suppose is too many? That's a rhetorical question for those of us who thrill to all the different variations of that species just as the fans of Galanthus do to those white and green/yellow flowers. Mary Sue
