Friends were visiting so we went up to Mt Hood. Threw some snowballs.
Then went for a leisurely walk around Trillium Lake.
Mary Spotted this Morel.
How does one confuse a Morel with a False Morel?
Couple of orchids. Lots of little Listera cordata.
Platanthera aquilonius
Strayed out into the bogs looking for interestingness and found it:
Dodecatheon jeffreyi
Across the bog, I could see hundreds of Dodecatheon.
NOID? If anyone has an ID for this, plz let me know.
I had never seen a Drosera in the wild before! Thrilled to find these tiny Drosera rotundifolia.
There were many.
Found this little guy on a Skunk Cabbage.
Overall, a very pretty trip.
Back in Portland, we visited Bovees Nursery. Mid-summer is their non-blooming season in general, but they still had quite a few things blooming.
A Rhodie.
Hardy Rhodie out front.
Their Cornus kousa out front is one of the best I've seen.
Found this guy in their greenhouse. Macleania insignis, supposedly. Weird flower = desperately need one.
