Try Michael Moore... he's a top expert in Western/Southwestern native herbs. And I don't mean the Michael Moore of movie fame. :o)

The Peterson Field Guides are very useful. They have one for medicinal wild plants, and one for edible wild plants, and several for wildflowers. They are organized by flower color, which I have always found helpful.

I have 15 Salvia Lyrata 'Purple Knockout' seeds left after planting and trading. These are seeds that I bought from J.L. Hudson and the ones I planted are sprouting (I planted them indoors, obviously). If you are interested in these, let me know. My e-mail is ramazz@cox.net. I am a new wintersower and have mostly been lurking and learning. :-) Becky
