Many of you and you know who you are, have been writing us cards and letters lamenting the fact that you missed the May wildflowers this year due to gross negligence on your part. While we can’t provide any sympathy, you should have gotten up earlier, we can give you a second chance. How often does that happen? Not very often, I’d say.

It is the middle of July down here at the lower latitudes and the Spring flowers are mostly long gone, replaced now with dead or dying foliage that is pretty damn ugly, but we have arranged, at no little expense on our part, to bring you Spring flowers once again for a very limited time. And by limited we mean not very long, it’s kind of like a botanical do-over and as it is very expensive to provide you with a large area of wildflowers and their supportive vegetation we can’t do this all day.

Fortunately because we have an excellent working relationship with Glacier National Park they have helped us by sharing the costs and providing their somewhat limited backdrops required to showcase the flowers in their best light. But even they with their vast resources can only sustain this wildflower curtain call for a few more days.

So if you want to see the colors, the forms, and the spectacular groupings Mother Nature is known for, you need to get on up to Glacier National Park, and get in line. No tickets or reservations needed but you’d best hurry if you want a good place to view them. All the good spots are filling up fast.

As always there is no need to thank us, your support is thanks enough, but if you feel the pressing need to help, and I think you know you want to, contributions of large sums of Twenties and Fifties, even the occasional handfuls of 100’s will work, (please, no 10’s, 5’s, or 1’s), loosely bundled in stacks of 100 or so are always appreciated.
