Keep An Eye Out For Gentian
My mid-August hike through the meadows and conifers in the Sierra Nevada Mts. was typical. I chased butterflies like a carefree child, peered through binoculars at birds like a peeping tom, and stopped to inspect every new wildflower I saw. It wasn’t until I was walking through the squishy meadow, my boots making embarrassing sucking noises in the goo, that I saw them. Gentians, their small blossoms scattered among the taller grass like velvety blue stars in a Van Gogh sky.

A Kind of Retrospective
Sunlight has just forced open the clouds, draping itself across the pine trees like the snow that fell before it. Winter has found the Sierra Nevada Mountains not with a vengeance, but with a kind of lazy persistence. Not a polar bear by nature, I turn a blind eye to the Ansel Adams landscape, instead contenting myself with my usual cup of coffee and a stack of colorful, warm wildflower photographs. 2001 was a great year of wildflower discovery for me, and a day like this begs for a retrospective.

Boo! Seasonal Wildflower Lore
In “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” a crowd of villagers has adorned the head of an unfortunate woman with a conical hat, and has fastened a long, pointy false nose to her face. Yelling, “Witch! Witch!”, they demand she be burned at the stake, mostly for its entertainment value. What does this have to do with wildflowers, you ask? Well, it is Halloween, and Halloween is when witches are about, and if anybody could find a use for a wildflower, berry, or bit of tuber, it would be a witch.
