I thought the list might like this quote i found in a person's signature
on my University's message board:
"A humiliating fact in connection with our California wildflowers, is the
average Californian's own indifference to them. Not only does he not know
their names or better yet their ecological relations, he does not even see
them....Why, the gardens of Europe are full of California wildflowers,
and have been for three generations, such flowers as clarkieas,
collinsias, lupines, gilias, eschscholtzias, godetias, phacelias, mariposa
tulips, penstemons and a score more."
Charles Francis Saunders, 1919
