I have about 1,200 wildflower images available, Oregon, Washington, California

and Tennessee....do inquire! Most northwest types validated by

Dr. Kenton L. Chambers of Oregon State University, (before he retired).

First are images shot with a point and shoot Nikon CoolPix L 6

camera. Most shots were simply handheld. The first set of

images were all shot in Tennessee. Click on each thumbnail to see full size:

Thank you Sandi Stohlman	Shot in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, in 1988. The 2002 Biscuit fire did damage this wilderness, however the K. leachiana (or leachianna) seems to thrive after fires! Here I pose with the very rare Kalmiopsis leachianna, close up below. Sandi Stohlman Emily Louise Stohlman
