Program
Summary
In 1991 the
Celebrating Wildflowers program was initiated in the Pacific Northwest
"to promote conservation and appreciation of wildflowers
and their habitats." This is a vital part of Rare Care's
mission, so in 2002 Rare Care assumed the leadership role in an
annual event in the Seattle Area. The event celebrates the importance
of Washington State's wildflowers by emphasizing their aesthetic,
recreational, biological, medicinal and economic values. |

We always think rare plant conservation is exciting. But sometimes it’s even more exciting than usual. While collecting seed from the rare Wenatchee larkspur (Delphinium viridescens) for research and conservation purposes, Rare Care seed collectors flushed a cougar! Here’s a picture of a related plant for you to color - the more common Nuttall’s larkspur (Delphinium nuttallianum).
