Great to see you pop in mac!

Hello, Mac. The infant botanist must be in school by now? Does she have any sibling seedlings?

Hi Both, Yes, I pop in every once and a while, but you all always have everything covered now-a-days. Also, Houzz has rendered the site practically unusable on my phone, so I find it rather off-putting to surf as I once did. Instead, I wish we could just have a constant group text going between us OG's (Original Gardener's?) and we could show each other our interesting finds.

Yes, the infant botanist, who has reached the ripe old age of three-and-a-half, was practicing saying "Cardamine" yesterday as I was tearing out the hirsute members of the genus. She's also an excellent Equisetum removal specialist. Her older brother isn't quite as interested in this sort of thing and prefers the comfort of a flickering screen. I digress.

I'm headed down to southern Oregon this weekend for a floral getaway in search of some Erythronium hendersonii, Fritillaria recurva and gentneri, Kalmiopsis fragrans and leachiana, and Dicentra uniflora, none of which I've seen in the wild! The weekend after will be a dayhike at the Dalles Mountain Ranch, which is quite a lovely place to be on the first of May. Wish me luck.

Welcome back. I use a browser instead of an app on my phone and it works well.

Have a great time plant hunting. My kids waited until their thirties to discover gardening, so your son has plenty of time yet.

It is such a joy when our little ones take an interest as my DD did. Have a wonderful weekend and here's hoping you locate all the desired plants. I miss your forays. Please post if you find tj's suggestion works well for you.

I think the Houzz app might be better than the browser on my phone now that I’m trying it more. Perhaps this is the way. I’ve used a browser forever to view the site, so it’s weird to use the app.

By the way, I use the gardenweb url instead of houzz.
