"""Kudos to Robin Hansen, editor of the Bulb Garden, and author Molly Carney for a great article on Camassia species in the Pacific Northwest. """ Thanks, Kathleen. I just visited the camas patch on Hwy 42. For once my timing was right on and I was able to collect camas seed, Toxicoscordion fremontii and Calochortus tolmei seed also. I'm hoping I can sort out whether this camas is quamash or leichtlinii ssp. suksdorfii as both are supposed to be here. I haven't cleaned the seed yet so don't know if there's enough to send to the exchange. I've tried keying the camas but have not yet succeeded to the point of being sure what I'm looking at. On the opposite side of the road, I'd never before noticed a huge patch of Eriogonum with white fluffy heads aging pink and bare flower stems, and clarkia. This particular area seems to be left alone, not sprayed or mowed and every time I stop to look I find different native wildflowers. I continue to visit it several times a year.
