Rare Care hosted its 8th annual Celebrating Wildflowers event June 6, 2009, in partnership with the Seattle Art Museum. Visitors played
a pollinator game, examined wildflowers through microscopes,
explored a fascinating
array of native mosses, painted pictures using plants, pressed flowers to take home, and drew a Mystery Plant! The Olympic Sculpture Park and all Celebrating Wildflowers activities are free for the entire family. Other organizations joined in with exhibits and activities to make the event bigger and better than ever, plus there were guided botany walks and a storytelling performance. Hope to see you in 2010 for more fun! |

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. |

Rare Care volunteers have observed Allium dictuon (Blue Mountain onion) and Allium constrictum (Douglas’ constricted onion), two rare native onions in Washington State. A. constrictum seed is stored in Rare Care’s Miller Seed Vault. When you eat an onion, you’re eating a bulb. Can you find the bulb in this picture of A. dictuon?
