Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge...


is in full glory right now, at least in terms of flowering plants. That's a pic of grass widow, a member of the iris family (click to enlarge.)

I spent the morning and afternoon with EWU botany professors Swedberg and O'Quinn and seven other native plant admirers as we toured the upland area behind the visitor's center. Several dozen plants were in bloom in the mixed prairie and ponderosa pine forest, and the weather was magnificent. A nice day.
