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).

Tight squeeze for a 240w but works well
Color: Black
This works pretty well. It was a little bit of a tight squeeze for a 240w brick, but it's stable at least. Strong adhesive

Great for a gaming laptop!
Color: Black, Size: 1.37" without hook
Great product is you want to mount any size laptop under your desk. I used it for my Alienware gaming laptop and it's fantastic! The three points of contact hold the laptop securely, while allowing maximum airflow for the fans. The three "clamps" are rock solid and will definitely outlive the laptop. The installation was simple and easy, just need a drill.

under desk laptop system
Color: Black, Size: 1.37" without hook
Reclaimed real desk space with this one. The mount holds the laptop securely underneath without any vibration or creaking and the installation required no drilling — clamped cleanly to the desk edge. The ventilation spacing is generous enough that thermals stay reasonable even under load. Works with a solid range of laptop sizes and the adjustment mechanism is easy to use. If your laptop spends most of its time docked this is the cleanest way to get it out of the way.

Works great, but pads are peeling.
Color: Black, Size: 1.37" without hook
Works for what I needed, which was to mount my work laptop to the side of my desk. However, the rubber pads started peeling the first day. I tried clamping them down overnight, but they still ended up peeling up. They haven't come off completely and are still working, though. I may have to glue them down.

Quality product.
Color: White, Size: 1.37" without hook
First of all it's made of metal so, I won't worry about accidentally breaking it and dropping my laptop. It came with adhesive rubber pads that fit inside the brackets, which is a nice touch for helping not to scratch up the laptop. It makes a huge difference to help declutter the desktop space.
