Although he earned bachelor’s degrees in economics and history (with a minor in art), his lifelong interest in gardening led him to employment at the University of Washington’s Center for Urban Horticulture during the summer months while competing his degree. He began working there full time shortly after graduation and eventually earned his Master of Science in Urban Horticulture in 2005. He has worked as Facilities Coordinator at the Elisabeth Miller Botanical Garden and as Head Gardener at Hill- Crest, the UW-owned residence of the university president, overseeing the renovation of the 1.5-acre, 100-year-old garden. He is currently the Curator of the Hyde Herbarium at the UW Botanic Gardens. Ray completed two terms as president of the Northwest Horticultural Society in November 2011. Ray lives and gardens in northeast Seattle with his 9 year-old daughter, Hazel. Ray will offer a glimpse into the historic flora and landscapes of the Seattle area just before Euro- American settlers arrived. This talk, based on his Master’s thesis, will draw from sources such as herbarium specimens, settlers accounts, survey maps and photographs to discuss the plants and scenery that made up the local landscape before Seattle was changed forever. This research offers the most complete view yet of the historic flora of Seattle area, and is being used both as a tool for local restoration efforts and model for reconstructing historic floras and landscapes from the pre-settlement period in other parts of the United States. Public invited, refreshments, admission is free. Produced by Sharon Baker and Shelley Evans On Prairies Jon Bakker PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CHANGE, THIS MONTH ONLY Center for Urban Horticulture 3501 NE 41st St., Seattle Thursday, April 4, 7:00pm The prairies of western Washington are an unexpected surprise in an area renowned for its trees. Dr. Jon Bakker will review their history, importance, and current status, illustrate current restoration practices, and highlight some fascinating elements of their ecology. Jon Bakker is the David R. M. Scott Associate Professor in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington. His research focuses on the restoration and management of terrestrial ecosystems, including prairies, shrublands, and forests. His teaching includes restoration ecology, statistics, and native plant production.

Rainier Donovan Tracy Bellevue Botanical Garden Tuesday, April 9, 7:00pm Wild flower enthusiast and photographer, Donovan Tracy will discuss the amazing flowers found at Mount Rainier. The presentation will focus on two areas: the subalpine meadows between 5,000’ – 6,500’ elevation and alpine plants found above 6,500’ in Mount Rainier National Park. Donovan will review the classifications of subalpine meadows and highlight some of their vegetation and community types. Extensive use of photographs will show the distinctions of these types with an emphasis on the contrasts between the Paradise and Sunrise sides of The Mountain. The alpine plant area will emphasis the uniqueness of these plants which endure harsh tundra like conditions. He will mix in some comments on wildflower photography, suggestions for wildflower hikes in the Park, and provide some historical references as well. Donovan is an amateur photographer with a special interest in wildflower photography. He is a volunteer with the UW Herbarium, and co-author of the wildflower guide, Alpine Flowers of Mount Rainier, with David Giblin, the herbarium’s collection manager. He developed and maintains the website Flowers of Rainier (www.flowersofrainier.com) which features over 230 species and 12 wildflower hikes. Public invited, refreshments, admission is free.

Board Member Reports Message from the Chair Dan Paquette Oh, the weather outside is <fill in the blank> without using any blankety blank adjectives. We’ve been forced to reschedule or waylay some of our events and work parties. Oh, woe are we! As twigs winter through the slings and arrows of weather onslaughts and mixed metaphors, and the buds of hazelnuts and Indian plum struggle forth, yet, our plans for the spring plant sale proceed, and even some exploration has begun for a fall plant sale. And so, forward we go! It’s the year of the pig, and as it was said in Charlotte’s Web, “Some pig!” Message from the Plant Sale Co-chair: Spring Plant Sale News Yen Flanagin Mark your calendar! On Saturday April 27th, WNPS-CPS will hold its annual Spring Native Plant Sale and Environmental Fair at Mercerdale Park, Mercer Island. The proceeds of the Plant Sale benefit CPS and its education programs. If you believe in the mission of WNPS and enjoy attending programs and lecture workshops sponsored by CPS in your community, we encourage you to get involved. There are many ways to do so: donate your time, spread the word, attend the sale event or do all three. This will be my third plant sale and I’m happy to announce that Nancy Bowen-Pope will share the responsibilities of the chair position with me. An expert about growing and gardening with native plants, Nancy has been volunteering for CPS native plant sales long before I knew about WNPS. Our committee is lucky to have her join our team. But wait! WNPS members get to shop one hour earlier at 9:00 AM for the best selection. Not a member? Please click https://wnps.org/membership or call 206-527-3210 to learn how to become a member. Thank you! We need volunteers, for before, during and after the sale. Whether working with plants, advising customers or tallying purchases, working on the plant sale is a fun way to spend time with plants and plant people. Please contact Ann Marten at [email protected] for more information and to sign up. The work for the sale has started already, and you’re invited to join in! • You don’t need experience. • You don’t need plant knowledge. • You don’t need to do physical tasks. Please look at the list and see which jobs appeal to you and which might fit your schedule, and we will match you up! Page 3 of 8 NPP Vol 20, No. 3 March 2019 Native Plant Press March 2019 Training is available and refreshments for volunteers are available the day before and the day of the sale.

This booklet was prepared with funds from the Forest Service Celebrating Wildflowers program, whose goals are to serve our nation by introducing the American public to the aesthetic, recreational, biological, ecological, medicinal, and economic values of our native botanical resources. By becoming more thoroughly acquainted with local plants and their multiple values, we hope to consequently in- crease awareness and understanding of the Forest Service’s management undertakings regarding plants, including our rare plant conservation programs, invasive plant man- agement programs, native plant materials programs, and botanical research initiatives. This booklet is a trial booklet whose purpose, as part of the Celebrating Wildflowers program (as above explained), is to increase awareness of local plants. The Modoc NF Botany program earnestly welcomes your feedback; whether you found the book help- ful or not, if there were too many plants represented or too few, if the information was useful to you or if there is more useful information that could be added, or any other comments or concerns.

Patagonia is a region in the far south of South America which is divided between Chile and Argentina. We toured the Argentine Patagonian province Neuquen travelling around Zapala, Villa Pehuenia, Caviahue and Chos Malal. The landscape in these areas was dry, grassland steppes in the main. However we also saw a wide-range of micro-habitats, due to the different localised conditions. For instance, boggy wetlands caused by snow melt, shady cliff faces, Auracaria forest floors, rocky crevices and pumice-covered cliffs to name a few.

First, it is not a grass at all, but actually a very dainty and charming member of the Iris family. Then, it isn’t always blue. Its grass-like leaves surround the 6-petaled (actually the petals are called ‘tepals’) star shaped flowers which can be blue, yellow or, in one related species, purplish-pink. In the Garden S. idahoense. Photo: Rod Gilbert All of the Sisyrinchiums are good candidates for natural areas of the garden, edging, or moist rock gardens. They also make good container plants, either on their own or com- bined with other smallish perennials, such as native Saxifrages or spreading phlox (Phlox diffusa). The Facts All of the Sisyrinchiums prefer to grow in a sunny location, and require spring moisture. Some are suitable for wet, even boggy conditions. Olsynium douglasii, or purple eyed grass, is the most drought tolerant of the species. These diminutive plants are spring bloomers, and purple eyed grass can bloom as early as March, while yellow eyed grass blooms somewhat later, but continues on and off through June and July. If they are very happy where they are planted they may self-sow, but you can also propagate them easily by division. Where to See It The Sisyrinchiums are fairly common along the west coast from British Columbia south to California, and east of the Cascades into Idaho.
