Just a brief message to say, HELLO!!! I'm happy to be a member of NARGS, Wasatch Chapter. It all started 20 years ago when I saw a stunning
Silene acaulis
in the Uinta Mountains of Utah! I have uploaded some of my favorite photos including
Penstemon duchesnensis
, a field of
Penstemon pachyphyllus
and
Astragalus spatulatus
.
Well, gotta go now. My wife and I are getting ready for the Jordan Valley Utah Green Festival this Saturday. Lots of xeric plants and seeds to sell / trade!
Warm Regards,
James

Welcome, James. Can't wait to see your photos of astragalus and penstemon. Do you grow these in your garden? The Wasatch and the Uintahs are among my favorite places and I've spent a lot of time in Utah. There are such wonderful plants there.

Nice to have you here, James. Let the others in your Chapter know about the Forum, and suggest that they come and introduce themselves as well. Hope to see you here again soon!
