(May & October 2006). <br />Cornerstone's follow-up field work (which looked for only the <br />Fragrant fritillary) was done more than 4 years ago (3/21/07). <br />o The biological reports fail to take into account the short bloom period <br />for native plants. <br />o The reports (especially the second one) fol to even consider effects of <br />variations in bloom periods at differing elevations. There are <br />substantial elevation differences between the study site and the <br />Edgewood Park lily habitat The fragraz,t fritillairles (seen 3/21/11 in <br />Edgewood) may have already passed their bloom period at study site. <br />2.
