Pacific Northwest Wildflowers
| Finally
the Mountain Loop highway re-opened so we headed there hoping for some
'spring' wildflowers. The woods looked pretty bare and there was still
snow present at higher elevations. Imagine my surprise when I managed
to find a number of brave little plants, determined to push their way
through the dead leaves and snow crystals. |

'Freshly picked leaves have an odour resembling burning tires when crushed. If they are rubbed on the body, the smell is said to repel mosquitoes.' |
