Catching up with communications in the Botany Group during July. This is from an email from Jocie to the group on July 9.
It’s bloomin’ July! (but doesn’t feel much like it). Here are a few flower highlight photos from John B.:

Swamp gentian (Gentiana douglasiana) from the Mount Washington Road bog.

Grand collomia (Collomia grandiflora) from the Trent River estuary in Royston.

Pacific rhododendron (Rhododendron macrophyllum) from Rhodo Lake near Nanoose (accessible on a logging road). Here’s a link with more information about the rhodo: http://nanaimorhodos.ca/rhododendron-lake/
