Pikes, I was struck by how tiny the bristle cone pines are for their age. Considering you have hiked and climbed Yosemite, you must have visited the sequoias. Didn't you once even talk about visiting the ones over by the coast? The rings on the bristle cones must be very compact for them to be so narrow, but what is really amazing is how short they are to be so old. Don't turtles, and fish, like sequoias, get larger as they get older? How odd the bristle cones remain so diminutive.
As for the wood lilies. It is hard to imagine that most of the folks who pick the beautiful flower are not unaware the dire results on the plant. How terrible! Of course there will always be some individuals who care about nothing except their own selfish desires, but surely most of us are simply ignorant clods about many many things. Have you ever managed to get any bulbs to nurture at home? It would be cool of someone with a large green house went on a personal campaign to grow those lilies en mass then went around the state planting them in difficult to reach locations! heheheh
