Arturo,

I have my hands full growing California native species. Normally I would say no to your offer, however I have a keen interest in the Genus Clarkia and I would love to grow some of your native Clarkias. So yes, I would be delighted to try some Clarkia from your place.

By-the-way, another forumist kindly showed be some photographs from your area. Stunningly beautiful!

Sometimes I wish that I lived in the High Sierra Nevada, maybe like Yosemite, but that real estate is not available.

Trond & Robert, now you both know why I chose to move southwest being raised in a large city... I'll try to get some pics of my annual native Clarkias flowering just now! If you are interested Robert, I can collect a few seeds of them too. They have taken over the free space between clump forming Agastache foeniculum plants in my prairie garden.

Arturo,

I could be interested in Clarkia seed also! Would like to try them army summer house.

While Trond may have discarded his pictures of clarkias, I love them and grow quite a few. Here are two pictures of Clarkia tenella growing north of Bariloche. It seems to be very variable. I also saw a red form in Chile and include it here.

Glad you didn't discard yours, Claire. Thanks for showing!

Some Patagonian Asteracea.

Dandelions, Taraxacum spp are spread across all the world. Many are from Europe. Taraxacum "officinale" was one of the commonest weeds in Patagonia. It is at least one native, T. gilliesii but I suspect it has to be more.

Taraxacum gillesii.This species is much smaller than T. official and flowers later.

T. gillesii

Unknown Taraxacum species. Also much smaller and later flowering.

Senecio argyreus

S. argyreus
