Colchicum autumnale

Blooming in September, Colchicum autumnale is an easy-doer in my Western Oregon garden.

Rock Garden Plants Database"contains 10820 species and is still growing. For each plant you will find here known synonyms of its name, short description, territory and altitude of its natural location, size, color, bloom, if it is calciphile (Ca+) or calciphobe (Ca-), its type (rosette etc.), cultivation and propagation." A remarkable resource indeed!
North American Rock Garden Society A must for the serious gardener. This group is not just about rock gardens, but instead extends to an amazing diversity of gardens and regions

The Scottish Rock Garden ClubWow, this page has a threaded discussion board! Highly recommended!

The Alpine Garden Society

The biggest and best Alpine and Rock Garden Website: Alan Grainger's The Alpine Garden

The International Bulb Society is THE organization for bulb-lovers. The members discussion list, Bulb, is one of the finest garden lists on the 'net, although the emphasis is on warm-climate bulbs.
Here is a handy link if you plan to go hiking in Washington. The native Plant Society has published plant lists, Exploring the Native Plants of Washington

The author of this page does work for a living! Land surveying is wonderful work, with a new venue nearly every day. We have done surveying everywhere from urban construction sites to wilderness lands.
