Dee Himes will share her multi-year Calochortus Treasure Hunt, which aims to find and photograph all the mariposa lilies in California. Calochortus belongs to the Liliaceae family, and California has the greatest number of taxa of any state in North America. There is at least one Calochortus species found in every county in California. Dee will highlight their distributions with maps and charts, demonstrate morphological differences between the species and, most importantly, showcase photographs of some of the beautiful flowers she and her husband, Ken, have encountered during their three-year treasure hunt.
