Hello Mike, Thank you very much for sharing so many pictures. I imagine San Diego becoming very hot in summer, or am I wrong? How does Bomarea edulis cope with summer heat? Does it go (partly) dormant? I have some Bomarea seedlings here in Portugal but they are not really growing well. They are kept in shade and as cool as I can during my hot summers. The pictures you sent from Anza Borrego remind me of two visits some time ago. I did not see Hesperocallis but many other beautiful flowers and was most impressed by the site where the little stream that comes from the valley disappeared into the gravelly streambed. I had never seen something like this before. I remember large plants of Datura opening their flowers at dusk. Thank you for sharing Uli _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
