As different as can be!

Calochortus macrocarpus (Sagebrush Mariposa), growing on the top of a dry
mid-elevation ridge in the Warner Mountains (far NE corner of California),
open sage brush with some Mtn Mahogany, lightly burned last year. Vigorous
seed set among the dozens of plants there.

Typhonium pedunculatum, growing under lights. Remarkably showy, very fast
opening, at dusk yesterday it was still straight up and wrapped snugly. Odd
relatively faint chemical-y odor, unpleasant but unidentifiable.
