I have
about 1,200 wildflower images available, Oregon, Washington, California
and
Tennessee....do inquire! Most northwest types validated by
Dr.
Kenton L. Chambers of Oregon State University, (before he retired).
First
are images shot with a point and shoot Nikon CoolPix L 6
camera.
Most shots were simply handheld. The first set of
images
were all shot in Tennessee. Click on each thumbnail to see full size:

Shot
in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, in 1988. The 2002 Biscuit fire did damage
this wilderness, however the K. leachiana (or leachianna) seems to thrive
after fires! Here I pose with the very rare Kalmiopsis leachianna, close
up below.
