The plantlife adapted to our higher elevations has an intense life, dealing with frequent frosts, poor soils, strong winds, powerful ultraviolet radiation and a light supply of pollinators. The short growing season means that our high country flora has to work hard and fast to put on a strong display. Michael Ross has been following these plants for many years is delighted to have 3 days of casual explorations for sharing them with you. A great chance for beginning to mid-level admirers of flowers.
