Virtual Baird Board 2

Jenny Wyatt 🌿

This is the second in a series of four virtual Baird Boards, since I don’t have the bottles with me. All of the wildflowers grow abundantly (nothing rare or endangered) our property on Icicle creek, where we have been for over two months. It has been a joy to see a succession of these beautiful flowers. Baird Board 2 contains: Lewis columbiana (Columbia lewisia); Achillia millefolium (Common yarrow); Antennaira microphylla (Small-leafed pussytoes); Calochortus lyalii (Lyall’s mariposa); and Geum triflorum (Prairie smoke). The Prairie smoke is this year’s 2020 Freeman Award winner. I had no idea it was available in cultivation! As it matures, the flowers burst open into a smoke-like form.
