Lovely photos by Stephen Munro! I'm glad to know his camera started working again, and that he didn't have to depend for a photo of C. howellii on the one he took here with his phone. I enjoyed talking with Stephen; he says he is the youngest member of the Northwestern chapter of NARGS, and I hope he can recruit some contemporaries into both it and the PBS. The "State of Jefferson" in his subject line refers to a sporadic movement to combine southern Oregon and northern California into a separate state. Rural, resource-exploiting, and libertarian interests drove it, but with gentrified Ashland and Arcata in the mix, how would that work? Jane McGary Portland, Oregon, USA
