Also known as chocolate lily or rice root, this is a sublime, but challenging to grow plant of Northwestern prairies, oak savannahs, and shore pine scrublands near the coast.

From an edible, lumpy bulb that resembles a mass of rice grains, checker lily briefly appears in the spring (roughly the same time as camas) to produce exotic-looking, nodding brown/purple flowers that are dabbed with flecks of yellow or green. By mid-summer the flowers dry up, leaving beautiful large brown seed capsules that eventually split and spill their multitudes of flat brown seeds onto the surrounding ground.

This is plant best attempted by fall or winter sowing in containers (with a sandy-loam soil), then transplanted several seasons later when the bulbs are large enough to handle. That said, there remains a lot of mystery around the propagation of this plant and germination can be painfully slow, inconsistent, and irregular. We’ve seen seeds from the same parent plant begin to germinate many months apart from one another. It’s likely that some seeds may sit in the soil for more than a year before germinating. Despite its initial challenges, once established, checker lily is an incredibly long-lived plant, with individual specimens possibly living for more than a century. It can also be periodically dug and divided to create more plants from bulb offshoots, this practice also allows for some sustainable harvesting of checker lily as a traditional food plant.

We laboriously hand harvest and hand clean the seed of this plant, and only have a limited supply available, it’s one of the rarest meadow plants in our inventory. This is good plant for experienced native seed propagators.

Approximately 50 seeds per packet. (0.1 grams).

Good value and sticks well
Style: 8.7 sqft(8 pcs), Material Type: Aluminum 197 mil, Style: 8.7 sqft(8 pcs), Material Type: Aluminum 197 mil
For $14 for 8.7 square feet, this was more than enough to cover the important parts of the trunk of my 944. You DON'T need a roller to apply this, just strong hands and a well prepped surface. I vacuumed, lightly washed, then used 90% alcohol to clean the surface before applying. I could have used more and covered every inch, but there is diminishing returns in doing so (especially on a budget, or with a lower wattage sound system in my opinion). If this stuck as well as it did for me in a 45° garage, then it should stick just fine for you too. I will say, it is a little cheap feeling, but for the price I can't complain. There is an audible difference when knocking on the panels this material is applied to. I'm not a professional though, and if you're an audiophile, there are better options (but prepare to empty your wallet). Not sure I would do an entire vehicle with this material, but it is a great supplement.

Good value for my application
Style: 37.1 sqft(34 pcs), Material Type: Aluminum 197 mil
I wanted this product for heat and sound installation. Worked well for my application of insulating Jeep floorboards. Easy to work with. Good adhesion. I may have went for a little thicker material. But it's better than only carpet. That's what Jeeps have so it worked great for me. Good value for the money, I like the size of the squares since I needed to do a lot of trimming anyway.

Good value
Style: 16.3 sqft(15 pcs), Material Type: Aluminum 197 mil
Works well in installation but recommend an aluminum foil tape to go over all seams. Seems to work well as a heat insulator. Not sure about durability UNTILL we get some years under our belts.

Absolutely zero difference. Anyways, I have both doors full of the stuff. I'd pass if I were you.
Style: 8.7 sqft(8 pcs), Material Type: Aluminum 197 mil
Not what I was thinking. I've used insulation like this that was composed of heavy material, this one is not. This product must be for boats or airplanes where weight is a primary consideration and noise is not a problem. This is too light to have an effect on vibration or road noise. Absolutely zero difference. Anyways, I have both front doors full of the stuff and I'd pass if I were you.
