I was talking to a forester (Stan) a few days ago and I mentioned about natives in our area. He indicated on the land that he surveys (Bald Hill Road abouit 10 miles from the Redwood National Park) that a white lily that fades to pink (couldn't remember) if it had dots, grew there. I mentioned that if he ever found mature (brown) seed pod I would be very interested.

Yesterday I got a knock on my door, there Stan was there with a bucket of dirt. This is what I found

He also had two (2) stems with green seed pods. I placed them in water hoping that they might mature.
He told me where the location of the lilies and I plan on going up there next year when they are in bloom to take photos.
