Dear All, A week ago we saw this beautiful flower blooming in the wild near the Gualala River. My husband has just purchased a digital camera and has been spending a lot of time trying to figure it out, but has come up with some nice pictures of the one by the river and one in a large deep container in our garden. I also have one in the ground blooming, but growing near the river is what it wants and the one in the ground is only about a foot tall, maybe 1/6 the size of the ones in the wild. In containers where I am better about watering they are much taller but not nearly as tall as in the wild. I will attach the pictures to the AB_images@yahoogroups.com and to Bulbs_Images@yahoogroups.com Anyone not on those lists who wants to see them can request them privately and I'll send an attachment. We have reduced the files down to a manageable size. Mary Sue
