Thank you for asking and not just stealing, Patty. When they accompany a story, I sell my photos to magazines and other publications. But for cash-strapped nonprofit organizations, I am willing to negotiate reasonable terms. I just sent you an email with what I consider to be fair terms.

Hi Kathy, I was wondering if it would be possible to use a picture of your Adlumia in an article I’m writing for our internal newsletter; Tag Along
http://www.taltree.org

We’re a botanic garden in northwest Indiana, I’m germinating Adlumia in our greenhouse to go out in our Native Plant Garden and wrote a bit about it in an article. But, since it’s about 1/4″ tall at the moment, I don’t have a picture to accompany my article. If you wouldn’t mind, I’d be very appreciative. And if you do mind, I’ll understand. Thanks.
Patty

Kathy,
I sowed some Adlumia fungosa seeds few years ago attempting to get a vine to cover a shady corner of the fence. The seeds germinated easily and I spread the seedlings in many parts of the garden, and they bloomed nicely the second year, but in my haste to clean up I pulled out all after that year. Bought the seed from Garden North (http://gardensnorth.com/site/index.htm). She used to have an interesting desciption on its culture. One of the things she pointed out is, in order to have blooms everyyear rather than alternate year, to sow the seeds in two successive years to start the cycle.

Kathy,
I have successfully scanned my Adlumia fungosa article, and believe I can send you a copy as a jpeg – 2 jpeg pages. Or I might post it on BayAreaTendrils & link to your site?
Shall I email it to you? Is there an email address on your site that I missed? Cheers, Alice

Well, you are in its native range. Do you have a moist spot?

I grew it once from seed from the NARGS exchange. Worked out well, but I couldn't get it to reseed. I love bienniels and many thrive what with my weedy ways. I'm not sure what kept this one from seeding around. .-= Craig @ Ellis Hollow´s last blog ..Verbascums bloom twice =-.

Kathy, I’ll look into whether CGM has any kind of archive online. It’s been more than ten years since it appeared.
Perhaps I could scan the pages, & post or email it? I wish you were HERE – you’re much more tech-savvy than I!
btw, All my images are 35mm slides that need to be converted to digital.
An unhappy note: we’ve been thinking of moving, and I’ve been doing my best to clear out files. Recently, I threw away most of the background materials I had collected. I was of two minds in doing so, but felt compelled to clear things out. I had copies sent by horticultural librarians – pages of info from old books.
In my own library I have lovely old illustrated volumes from The Nature Library – Wild Flowers, & Garden Flowers, which lists Adlumia fungosa.
Other wild plants I totally obsessed about, grew and wrote on include Clematis virginiana; greater celandine – Chelidonium majus, and lesser celandine or celandine poppy – Stylophorum diphyllum.
But… don’t get me started! Alice
