Over 150 registrants as of May 9: which leaves fewer than 80 slots to fill the conference...
Registrations keep flowing in: if you intend to come, I would send in the deposit. It is going to be an awesome time: looks like there's plenty of snow in the Rockies, so the alpine screes and meadows of the Collegiate Range and Mosquito Mountains in central Colorado will be their floriferous best: there are hundreds of spectacular species of alpines at every stop. And Cottonwood Pass, Weston Pass, Monarch Pass and the other hikes are to die for:
Eritrichium aretioides
is positively
weedy
everywhere up there! And I relish the talks from the likes of Zdenek, Wiert, Vladimir and Kirk Johnson (the last is Vice President of our Museum of Nature and Science and a fantastic speaker on geology and paleobotany: he will resurrect the ancient forests and seas that created these lofty peaks). And the evening reception at Denver Botanic Gardens (among 20 monumental Henry Moore sculptures!) will be to die for: I am so proud of this remarkable garden containing 30,000 accessions of plants comprising 50 jewel like gardens, each so distinct from one another. How can you miss out on strolling those paths in the gloaming with us, hiking the crisp Colorado tundra with us and just plain enjoying this marvellous meeting of the minds?

I tried to get there but even 7 months out, I could not get any seats with my accumulated airmiles. RATS! I had to opt out to visiting my brother in Calgary so I'll see some of the same alpines there...but not as many as I would have seen in Colorado.

You are missed, Todd! Hope you are having fun in Calgary...
Enjoyed the picture of you wall with alpines on top...very creative and different.
Just back form Portland: some great alpine growers there! We need to lure you back to Denver..
