Kamchatka lily is one of the more enigmatic wildflowers of the northern Pacific coast – a plant of foggy mornings, damp coastal grounds, bears, ancient life ways. 

Distributed in scattered populations arching from northern Japan, far eastern Russia, Alaska, and southward to Washington and Oregon, it hugs the coast, occurring in wet clearings, sometimes just a few feet above the high tide mark. 

Sometimes called rice-root for the clusters of small white bulblets that form around the primary, scaly bulb, these root offshoots were a historic food for native gardeners who tended this plant in coastal estuaries (sometimes constructing well engineered earth work embankments to expand the growing zone for the plant near the waterline). 

Kamchatka lily is sublime with its dark, hanging, sometimes mottled brown-black-purple flowers, reaching up to a bit under two feet in height (but usually much shorter), with whorls of deeply veined leaves along the main stem. This is mostly a fly-pollinated plant, smelling a bit like decaying flesh, and a plant that is exceedingly uncommon south of British Columbia where many of its historic habitats have been degraded. 

For all of its specialization, Kamchatka lily is relatively easy to grow, but slow to mature. Seeds are best cold-wet stratified (fall planted when direct sowing), emerging as tiny single-blade leaflets in spring which last only a few weeks. The plant repeats this growth pattern for a number of years before it reaches a mature, flowering size.

Kamchatka lily prefers cool locations with sun or only partial shade, and lots of moisture. Heavy clay, and salt water intrusion are fine for this plant. Often co-occurs with arctic butterbur, various sedges, and Pacific crabapple. Mysterious, and we think the most beautiful member of the genus. 

Approximately 50 seeds (0.1 grams)

Took me by surprise 😮
Format: Paperback
The revised part of my review: I do agree with a reviewer; Thomas "Should Have Been Better" Especially his paragraph here: [Unless (like the authors) you think that Sharon Olds' "passing blood and feces and water" and her "stool black with iron pills" (page 234) are high points in the world of modern poetry, you may resist their suggestion to "read all five of her books, for pleasure first, of course, but secondly to examine how she goes about her difficult task" (page 47).] As I have read more, I am reevaluating my own opinions of this book. I still feel it has been helpful, although much of it I would have preferred to have never read! Poor choice of examples to a student indeed! This, is my original review: I thought it was going to be a bunch of lame assignments, well there definitely are some assignments so to speak. I haven't even made it through half of the 1st chapter and I've written 6 or 7 new reflections (which some call poetry)! It digs deep, at least it did for me...pretty personal when you open yourself up to it. Good challenge and good lessons to glean from and grow as a writer. I still plan on keeping this around, probably with a few pages removed.

A first Poetry book...
Format: Paperback
Update (7/22/20): I must elaborate more on my intention for this book, for had my previous brief update felt vague. By practicing writing, I meant understanding and placing down the basic conventions of poetry because I am critical when it comes to writing. As I explore through the pages in this book, involving just the underlining, the structure of each topic in this book makes for ease of learning. Near the end of each topic contains ideas for writing, allowing one to utilize the content for practice. After all, I'm not an expert, just one who has the curiosity for crafted writing. Maybe this book may be sufficient enough to hone in the skills of poetic writing; for me, exploring other poetry books invites more perspective and this is a starting point. (Book condition) I have just started reading this book, so there is not much input I can include. For now, my review is not based on the content, but rather the condition of the book. I was bummed that this book came in damaged on the lower spine, and had to order another copy, so I can return the other copy later. It is disappointing, books that have been returned have not been inspected. Even if we cannot contact the representatives, I decided to slip a note about it, so others do not receive the copy I returned. end of rant. I will update on this book, once I have immersed myself in this book. I am a beginner and even though I learned poetry in high school, I wanted to delve into this book, so I can practice writing.

Two practing poets share guidance and inspiration
Format: Paperback
Normally I'm suspicious about guides to writing poetry. The creation of a poem is such a personal and private affair, that I tend to despair of long distance help. Happily "The Poet's Companion" strikes such a balance between inspiration and craft that it's the next best thing to participating actively at an outstanding workshop. I benefitted from the poetic themes and supported exercises, feeling creatively rejuvenated by the authors' challenges. It seems to have no ideological axe's to grind-its only goal is to advance the poetic impulse from the brain to the page. I am truly grateful to have this book as it has aided in a personal liberation from a massive case of writer's block. I recommend this book to everyone of us who loves to read and learn the practices of writing poetry.
