In the interest of expanding botanical appreciation and knowledge, along
with several folk's expressed interest in small numbers of non-orchid
photos, I'm presenting a couple of my favorite non-orchid shots. With
respect to the group, if these are too off-topic, just let me know and I'll
go back to all orchids all the time.

Arctostaphylos is a genus of ericads with a center of distribution in
California. It has a narrow range along the foggy coast of California,
Oregon, Washington, and possibly British Colombia.

A. pajaroensis is threatened by the standard thing: residential development
of coastal land.

Other famous ericads are Blueberries and Rhododendrons.
