To Aaron Kagan: that would be really great. I along with many colleagues have tried to grow nursery propogated ramps but because it is a specialised native I have personally not had success. It will grow for a year or two but then wink out. Some people say they are making some headway with propogation but I have not heard any definitive results…

I believe the biggest issue here is getting the general public to actually care about the environment. If we strip the earth for everything it has for our own personal benefit, in a few years there will be nobody here to benefit.

Peter you have done it again! And at a minimum people could clip off a couple leaves or more instead of pulling them out bulbs and all.

Great piece, Peter. And in Mexico, substitute insects for ramps but you can keep most of the rest of the story, just with a sentence or two about nationalism.
