Great shots! First one reminds me of a caterpillar hanging from the branch. Great shots!

The male catkin opened up and dripped a big pile of yellow pollen. I need to shoot a detail of the male flowers because they're really pretty cool when fully opened.

On the male Garrya fremontii I photographed last week, I discovered the buds are deep purple, quite pretty. I’m so glad you managed to find some after all that driving!

G. buxifolia also grows in your area, but more toward Josephine County. G. elliptica is mostly a coastal species, found in Curry County. Check the Oregon Flora Project plant atlas for details. G. fremontii is reported from Table Rock, but I don't recall seeing it there. Of course, I wasn't looking for it. Janet, there's no Garrya anywhere near the Pilot Rock near Pendleton.

I wonder if Phyllis would be referring to the Pilot Rock outside of Pendleton? If so, we could likely get Bruce Barnes out to take a look-- just a thought. Really enjoying my new life here in Spokane--- but NO snow! I may have jinkzed things by getting new snow shoes AND new nordic skis, all being hopeful. Let me know if there's anything around here you'd like news on. All best, Janet Nice work Mark– you are amazing! I wonder if Phyllis would be referring to the Pilot Rock outside of Pendleton?

They are great. That is one hard plant to capture. Josef and I took pictures of the female plant up on Pilot rock a few years ago. They ended up on top of my car. not a great place and not great pictures. Now I need to go back and see if they are G.fremontii or elliptica. There should be snow up there today but I will see if I can find the old slides. Grass widows, maybe I will make it down to Gold Ray this afternoon. O I heard 2 days ago that Erythronium hendersonii is blooming on lower table rock. This was from someone who does not look for flowers just described it to me, bet there is other stuff there too. Back to the Garden. P Thanks for sending the pictures. They are great. That is one hard plant to capture. Josef and I took pictures of the female plant up on Pilot rock a few years ago.
