  • Alaska Airlines Magazine, October, 2008
    william wright 98 real estate october 2008 alaska airlines Magazine Real Estate Verdant Pleasures Finding inspiration in botanical gardens By Debra Prinzing hether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, set aside an afternoon to visit your destina- tion’s botanical garden or arboretum. Not only will you enjoy a calm respite among foliage and Wflowers, usually away from crowds and long lines, but you’ll also find inspiration for your own backyard. North America has an impressive history of gardens established for the enjoyment of its citizens: Boston’s Public Garden—the nation’s first—opened in 1837, adjacent to Boston Common, which was the country’s first public park. Nowadays, there’s a wealth of diversity in the country’s many gardens. Some venues are large and filled with mature plants; others are small and emerging in significance. Some are tucked into big cities; others are in more remote locations. You may have toured some of the oldest and most beloved, including crown jewels such as Central Park in New York City, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, and the San Francisco Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park. But there are acres and acres more of botanical beauty to enjoy. A visit to a local garden will fill your lungs with fresh air, your eyes with horticultural wonders and your mind with great ideas for your home garden. Here are some favorite gardens, with tips on what to look for when you visit. Dunn Gardens The Arthur Dunn family estate was established in 1915 on a bluff overlooking the Puget Sound north of Seattle.

  • Great Camas (Camassia Leichtlinii Ssp. Suksdorfii) Plant Guide
    Natural Resources Conservation Service Plant Guide GREAT CAMAS Camassia leichtlinii (Baker) S. Watson ssp. suksdorfii (Greenm.) Gould Plant Symbol = CALES2 Common Names: Leichtlin’s camas, large camas, Suksdorf’s large camas Scientific Names: Camassia leichtlinii (Baker) S. Watson var. suksdorfii (Greenm.) C.L. Hitchc., Camassia suksdorfii Greenm. Note: Camassia quamash ssp. quamash was previously misapplied as a synonym of this taxa. Warning: Deathcamas (Zigadenus venenosus) can be confused with edible camas bulbs and is toxic. Be sure of your identification of camas bulbs before eating them! Description General: Lily Family (Liliaceae). Great camas is a perennial herb that grows from an edible bulb. The plant can grow from 24-48 inches (60-120 cm) tall. Leaves are long and narrow, grass-like, and emerge from the base. Great camas blooms in late April to late June. The inflorescence is a spike-like cluster borne on a leafless stem that is held above the leaves. Camas flowers are creamy-white to deep blue-violet; they have 6 tepals, 6 stamens, and 3 stigmas. The white form is considered to be native only to the Umpqua Valley of Oregon. Great camas differs from common camas Photo by Kathy Pendergrass, Oregon NRCS, 2008 (Camassia quamash ssp. breviflora) in the following ways: the flowers are regular, with tepals that twist together after anthesis and remain over the ovary; anthers are dull yellow to violet; the plant is larger, with longer flower stalks and bigger bulbs; and there is a fine, waxy powder on the leaves. The seeds are usually larger as well. The fruits are barrel-shaped to three-angled capsules, splitting into three parts to release many black, angled seeds.

  • ICBEMP Analysis of Vascular Plants
    Gratiola heterosepala Mason & Bacig. is a peripheral endemic known from one occurrence (elevation 5360 feet) in Lake Co., Oregon, and from sixteen additional sites within seven counties in northern California. An annual member of the Scrophulariaceae, it is found on clayey soils in shallow water and at the margins of vernal pools and stock ponds. The species flowers from mid-June to mid-July and is believed to be facultatively autogamous (L. Housley, pers. comm.). Field observations have shown no evidence of pre-dispersal seed predation, and seeds are likely dispersed by migrating waterfowl. Associated species include Downingia Zaeta, Marsilea vestita, Plagiobothrys scouleri var. penicillatus, EZeocharis palustris, and Camissonia sp. surrounded by a Juniperus occidentaZis/Artemisia arbuscuZa/Poa sandbergii community. An exclosure established in 1993 on the Lakeview District BLM is being monitored to determine the effects of grazing on the species. Data collected between 1982 and 1991 shows population size at the Oregon site ranging from 2000 to 18,000 individuals. Potential threats include early season grazing, invasion by exotic species, and development in some areas. Population trends are currently considered stable. Grindelia howeflii Steyermark is a regional endemic with a bimodal geographic distribution; most of the occurrences are in west-central Montana, with several small occurrences also known in a very small area in north Idaho, It prefers southerly aspects in bluebunch wheatgrassJSandberg bluegrass grasslands and openings in ponderosa pine and Douglas fir stands. The Montana occurrences, of which 60 are currently known to be extant (Pavek 1991), are in Missoula and Powell counties, in the Blackfoot, Clear-water and Swan River drainages (Shelly 1986).
