Just a quick photo tour of my trip to California, had to go lay Grandma Shook to rest. Botanizing is a great way to get the mind off of missing someone special and plants are always a recharge for me anyway.
 |
| Calochortus amabalis So this was in the hills above Calistoga where the fires burned this past fall. |
 |
| Ziagadenus in the Sonoma Hills |
 |
| Mexican butterworts at California Carnivores, this epic nursery is just a few miles down the road from My grandma's house, I"m gonna miss those plant filled visits. |
 |
| California Carnivores is a plant collectors type of place. |
 |
| I need one of these for teaching about water quality and the carnivorous plant connection, almost every kid anywhere has heard of or seen a venus fly trap so it's the ideal intro plant to teach botany and evolutionary adapatation. |
 |
| Made it home to see the cherrys and mustard in full bloom, a hive of bees buzzing happily away and a pretty solid week of good weather. Life is good when it's like this. Cheers, Mark |
