That was an interesting tour Susan! I've never been to that part of the country. I find it amazing that so many of the wildflowers do so well in other parts of the country...even So. Cal., if one gets to the higher elevations. Of course, many of them have been hybridized by the nursery trade, and will do well almost anywhere.
As a strictly West Coast gal, who doesn't travel much, I love these internet tours!
