Our last day in the field took us up Mount Evans, home to a forest of ancient bristlecone pines, below a vast expanse of tundra harboring many unique plants. Our regular social media posts will resume next week - I hope you enjoyed joining us on this journey! #plantcollecting #mountevans
Our penultimate day in the field was short, as we both had to give online lectures. However, we did find a few lovely things #plantcollecting #coloradorockies
Day 6 and Wyoming had one more treat for us, the Medicine Bow National Forest. Here’s a selection of alpine gems - we start collecting in Colorado tomorrow #plantcollecting #medicinebownationalforest #snowyrangemountains
Day 5 took us from the Bighorn Mountains south to the Laramie Mountains, a long trek across Wyoming. Wildflowers were extraordinary #plantcollecting #laramiemountains
Day 4, our second in the Bighorn Mountains and we’re getting inspiration for our Rock Garden by visiting the real thing #plantcollecting #bighornmountainswere
Day 3 took us from Nebraska to the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. Still snow on the ground and the first flowers of spring, plus 25 moose! #plantcollecting #bighornmountains
Day 2 of our collecting trip took us from Nebraska to the Black Hills of South Dakota, and neither prairies nor hills disappointed #plantcollecting
Heronswood is in the Field! We’re traveling to collect new plants for our Rock Garden. Here’s a selection of what we saw today, en route from Denver, Colorado to Harrison, Nebraska via Wyoming. Back tomorrow with more #rockgarden #plantcollecting
Spring abundance continues at Heronswood - here’s a salubrious selection. If you’d like to visit, we’re open Wednesday to Sunday, 10am-3pm #opengarden #pugetsoundgardens
This evergreen vine collected in India’s Arunachal Pradesh State is flowering for the first time. It’s a Schisandra, probably S. neglecta, but these two flowers look quite different. The cream flower is male and the red one female, but in two different plants grown from the same seed collection, showing the value of gathering a range of material #schisandra #gardenvines
