Yikes!! Not surprised it's beekeepers at all though. A distorted perception of reality is common among beekeepers and other honey bee fanatics...

That is extremely unlikely. The Klamaths-Siskiyous are very ecologically isolated up to this day and they were even more so in the past. Rarely anything endemic there ends up being disjunct elsewhere.

People plant it sometimes and it persists but it doesnt seem to spread by seed, somehow. The Goat Rocks Wilderness in Washington is an example

🌸 limestone fameflower 🌿
Phemeranthus calcaricus

this limestone cedar glade celebrity can be found as far away as texas if you look hard enough. but i recommend trying to find them in middle TN where are most common (still rare though)

Opuntia fragilis doesnt occur in the Columbia River Gorge! Sometimes columbiana gets mislabeled as such

The 101 running only once an hour on Sundays, while the G line runs every 15 minutes, is not justifiable.

José Manuel Álvarez Guerrero @montiaparvifolia.bsky.social · Apr 20

So much money invested on the G Line, a route that was not as critically necessary as they insisted it was. It's so annoying to see more KING COUNTY metro investment only in Seattle while they make service cuts left and right elsewhere in the county.

He also said (before the new administration started) that he didn't think things would be bad under Trump.

A colorful form of Heuchera micrantha var. micrantha (rare for the varieta) I collected in Enumclaw, accompanied by Sedum spathulifolium from Vancouver Island that I got from Paul Symington

Mathiasella bupleroides starting to bloom.

José Manuel Álvarez Guerrero @montiaparvifolia.bsky.social · Apr 15

Lewisia nevadensis blooming today.

Purchased at the NWNARGS sale last year as L.pygmaea.

Though this year they did have real L.pygmaea, not many though. I got the last one of a handful.

José Manuel Álvarez Guerrero @montiaparvifolia.bsky.social · Apr 15

So cool to live in a place where Lysichiton americanus is native and common.

José Manuel Álvarez Guerrero @montiaparvifolia.bsky.social · Apr 15

The NWNARGS sale was a pretty good one this year. Even without the vendors, the selection was pretty sweet.

Notice how I didn't say everyone working for the agencies, since people doing and construction definitely need their own vehicles (which the agency should finance entirely).

José Manuel Álvarez Guerrero @montiaparvifolia.bsky.social · Apr 11

Everyone working in offices for any transit agency should be required to take public transportation to work. These fuckers clearly barely have a clue of what they're doing.

Opuntia columbiana from Walla Walla County, where it grows on fairly stabilized and sagebrush covered sand dunes in the Walla Walla river vallt near Wallula Gap.

Reminder that our government isn't a foreign body imposed by force upon us; it's just us, working (efficiently, inefficiently, ably, ineptly...humanly) on our behalf and for our mutual benefit.

Took advantage of the weather to get out of my human skin for a bit.
