Anenome oreganum taken at Twin Lakes, Douglas County in July, 2006
Besides fun we seek wild flowers. It is always a good idea to bring the camera. Check the calender for coming hikes.
Planting began fall 2006. We hope it will help the public see native plants growing beautifully. The plants should demonstrate low care because they are so adapted to this location.
35mm slides donated to the public domain need scanning into digital format for preservation. Once in digital form they can be identified and entered into a database. The database will then be made available for educational presentations and research.
Our monthly meetings usually include a presentation. For example the Nov 2006 meeting included a botany master's thesis study of Kings canyon, California. We saw many slides of plants and flowers. Some were never identified before this study and are very rare. The public is welcome at these meetings.
Our members are called upon by other groups from time to time to make presentations.
The sale is generally held in May. These plants are nursery grown; not taken from native locations. We also have bumper stickers ,tee shirts and more so that you may donate and get something extra in return. The DVD of pictures and botanic database should be a popular item but was not available for the 2007 sale.
Please come to our plant sale next year. We will be glad to talk native plants.
