Outstandingcollection of pictures and information, Fred!
And to think that some Sp-members don't like to look at
what Mother Nature produces, unless it has a snow-capped
mountain with a route description attached!! Hogwash! :)

Re: OutstandingThanks lcarreau. They're probably my favorite mountain flower, often turning up in unexpected places. By the way, does lcarreau mean "the crow" in french? :)

Re: OutstandingNope, but while I attended public schools in Utah, I had to
learn a stupid poem called "The Raven." :)
If you're interested, 'carreau' in french means "The Diamond."
(And YES, I've already had to EAT CROW several times on SP!!)
