A windy day at Stansbury Island April 19th.

Great day out everyone. Special thanks to Brad Coleman for his co-teaching the class. What follows is a list of the plants that we talked about. I've ordered them into family groups. For 90 bonus points who remembers which family the above plant was in?

See ya all (and hopefully those who missed Stansbury Island) at Red Butte Garden behind the courtyard fountain. They'll be expecting you at the admissions desk, don't pay to get in, say "I'm with the Follow the Wildflowers class" and proudly walk in.
