  2. I can hardly believe how many flowers you have this month. Our camas are way behind yours, as are our PCIs - no blooms at all yet. Thanks for the lovely glimpse of things to come!

  3. What is this camassia you speak of, and where do I get me some?! Gorgeous photos of everything. I must go check my false Solomon's Seal now for buds!

  4. They may have it at Portland Nursery now. I order mine from Brent and Becky's in the fall. Camassia handles clay like a champ and it comes back bigger and better every year. I love it!

  6. You've got gorgeous blooms! And you don't use much supplemental irrigation as I recall. I can only wish that Mother Nature stops treating us so harshly in SoCal - or move, I suppose.

  8. They didn't have any at Xera the last time I was there but I'll keep my eyes peeled. You want me to grab some for you if I see them?

  12. Love it all! I just added another lewisia after my other two rotted. More gravel, less soil. Grasshopper will learn eventually....
