Prairie Moon Nursery (online) carries seeds of Pediomelum esculentum and some other spp in that genus.   I can vouch that their seeds are good quality.

watching it rain after the snow today, crocus buds were ready to open before a foot of snow covered them last Thursday.

Subject: [pbs] Allowance & Availlability of Calochortus spp. and Psoralea esculenta (Breadroot) growing in the UK

Dear All,I wish to pose a question, please: Do you know of the allowances (or otherwise) and availability to obtain, of the tubers and/or seeds for Calochortus species (especially C. aureus, C. gunnisonii, C. luteus, C. macrocarpus, C. nuttalli, C. tolmiei, C. venustus), and/or of Psoralea esculenta (Breadroot) (synonym Pediomelum esculentum), potentially for growing non-commercially in the UK? Are these restricted for import and/or for growing in the UK, or not? Who might supply tubers/seeds to enable them to be growing in the UK if import and growing is freely allowable? Given that both are said to have been 'staple' foods (at least for part of the seasonal round) by 'Native Americans', their potential for food, in addition to their own lovely characteristics anyway, is an additional thought.Thanks if you can advise,Chris.Location: Southern part of the UK.[the email address here used (in case it is visible to the group) is that of an acquaintance of mine, rather than my own
