It’s down at the bottom of the post here on this page, but yeah, good point, I’ve been meaning to make the date more noticeable. The Trilliums bloom in the spring, this post was on the 16th of April. They are in a few different parts of the bot garden, shady woodland sites. You can find them in moist woodland areas hiking, several different kinds. They are all dormant now.

I do not see dates on your blog entries. Dates are always helpful. Though public comments are dated. What is the best time to go see the trilliums here? And where abouts are they located? Thanks

My mother who grew up in Ohio loved and talked about trilliums, but I as yet have to see one in the wilds. Santa Barbara/Point Conception seems to be as far south as they venture.

Ribes, though–yah, we’ve got a few. I hope you were able to talk some people into some plants.

The Tilden sale is the bot garden sale I go to. Maybe I should go to more.
I’m not sure I could get my hands on one. People really do sprint to them, and then they’re gone in thirty seconds. I didn’t know that you had bought one. Is it still alive or did it succumb?
If you want to buy a Ribes, I might be the one to talk to. See you there.

Wow, I’ve never seen so many trillium in one spot in the wild. They must be well cared for. I’m actually thinking of going to the sale to buy a ribes or two. I’ll probably see you there.

Mmmm. You wouldn’t be able to put one aside for me? Hey, I’ll make it worth your while. We can meet at a secret location so noone finds out…

Ah, never mind. I bought one from Digging Dog and it promptly got overwhelmed by the redwood sorrel.
