Acknowledgments 
I give special thanks to Ann B. Flagg for her endurance of 56 years of marriage 
to a daydreamer, and for her loving and patient support, whether she waited in 
the car while I looked at plants on the roadside, read a book when I went back to 
the lab at night, took care of the family as I went off in pursuit of rain-lilies for 
days or weeks at a time, or more recently keeps the home fires burning when I 
play golf or go to the HPU herbarium to work on rain-lilies. Dr. Gerald L. Smith is 
particularly recognized for inspiring me to continue playing with frustrating rain- 
lilies in retirement.
