A Couple of Columbines
Two species of columbine, which leapt at me from out of a field guide and a southern Utah seep, remind me of how much more I have to learn about wildflowers. I had no idea so many varieties of columbine were native to North America, beginning with Coville's Columbine and Golden Columbine...

Odds and Ends From 2002
Last year I was one lucky wildflower lover. I enjoyed a host of new wildflowers in California during the early spring, familiar old blossoms in Ohio during late spring, and wildflowers along the Gulf Coast over the summer. And now, after driving across 7 states, through still more new wildflowers, I’m back in California, restless to get through winter, into spring and who knows what new wildflowers. In the meantime, we do have winter to wrap up, and before I start learning new wildflowers in 2003, I have a little unfinished business from 2002.
