From an email by Jocie to the Botany Group on September 29. Click a photo to enlarge it.

Last weekend the Strathcona Wilderness Institute (SWI) wrapped up its season with a walk around Paradise Meadows, which several of you joined in on. There is always something new to see in the meadows! Veronique sent in these lovely photos of plants and a western toadlet. My daughter took the photos of fungi (identified by Alison M.) and a subalpine fir cone that had split in half, revealing an intricate pattern.
