Wildflower Show
It was time for the flower search for the 2024 show to begin.
This fairy slipper surrounded by snow queen was patiently waiting for the collectors.
The showroom is all set as the flowers begin to arrive.
The plants are starting to spread throughout the room.

We are ready for visitors.
The bachelor's button was beautiful.
This flower had not been in the show since 2016!
The thimbleberries were looking great.
Monkshoods had everybody looking.
As always, retired Professor Ken Carloni conducted a walking tour of the show.
By the time he finished the crowd had grown greatly.
His entertaining and informative comments about the plants kept attracting more and more followers.
We never know how much interest the book table will draw.
By the end of the show there were only 3 books left.
As always, the Noxious Weed display was answering lots of questions.

It is always a big draw among the native plant lovers that attend the show.
