Washington and Oregon
« on: July 20, 2010, 01:14:23 PM »
We started in Seattle and crossed the Cascades to stay a few days in Leavenworth. An interesting town which was going broke after it lost its railroad and so re-invented itself as a Bavarian look alike. We looked at the woodland plants on the way there and then at a variety of habitats from woodland to hot dry screes on trips out.WE saw dozens of different species and so I am choosing a representative selection to show

Cornus canadensis
Maianthemum dilitatum
Rubus parviflorus
Lilium columbianum
Platanthera dilitata
Lonicera ciliosa
linnaea borealis
Chimophylla umbellata
Castilleja sp
Aquilegia formosa

Chorley, Lancashire zone 8b

Smashing sets of pictures Tony, love those Calochortus, and the Phlox, and the Lewisias. Well, loved them all really.

Tony there are some real beauties there, liked the Calypso bulbosa  8).  It would be lovely to see all these plants in the natural settings.

lots of gems in there..i guess this was some time ago? i suppose various elevations, so its hard to compare blooming times--Calypso flowers in may/june here, but pyrola much later, for example..

We arrived in Seattle on the 29th June and left two weeks later. The calypso was blooming with the pyrola.It was at the end of its season and the pyrola was just beginning.
