Fritillaria: Culture In the Wild?
Economies have waxed and waned on the value of a tulip. People have lied, cheated, stolen and killed for an orchid. And here these were, these sip-your-tea-with-your-pinkie-in-the-air lilies - Mission Bells - growing on a slope overlooking the ocean, nearly hidden among the grass. It seemed an awful lot of culture in the wild, largely unnoticed no less.

Lewis and Clark at the End of the Road
Lewis and Clark arrived "in full view of the ocien" near what we now know as Fort Columbia State Park, on the coast of Washington on November 15, 1805. They camped there for ten days before crossing the river into Oregon, where they built Fort Clatsop, which is just west of Astoria. There they remained throughout the winter, departing for home on March 23, 1806.

More Photos, Field Guides, and Early Bloomers (Again)
Our escape to Point Reyes was more than putting distance between us and that mountaintop B and B. It was also a chance to see a colony of breeding Elephant Seals and get acquainted with new wildflowers. At Chimney Rock we were able to park and hike. It was like approaching the Emerald City through that field of poppies; all sorts of new wildflowers awaited discovery.

Spring Wildflowers in Yellowstone
...next up on our trip from Boulder, Colorado to the coast of Washington was Yellowstone National Park. Like Devil's Tower, and along the interstates before it, we weren't sure what, if any wildflowers we might see there. Geysers? Sure. Stinky, sulfuric fart smells. Without a doubt. Bison? Grizzly bears? We hoped so. But wildflowers? We just didn't know.

The Wildflowers of Northern Exposure
Spring was unfolding its blossoms in the northern U.S., and we were getting to see it. But then we got to the high desert of Washington and our spirits began to lose altitude. It was hot and dusty and void of much in the way of wildflowers. Then a strange thing happened: the interstate dropped down from the desert into the Columbia River Valley.
