This is Button Bush, Cephalanthus occidentalis. Love it, and so do the bees, birds, and butterflies.

Oenothera?

Cool pictures, Laura! Don't you just love to go ramblin' like that? The picture underneath the pitcher plants is sundew, another insectivorous plant. Those shiny little droplets are sticky, and the insects are trapped when they land on them. They don't close up like a Venus flytrap would, but the insects are digested anyway. Both the pitcher plants and the sundews are becoming scarcer as the slightly boggy land areas they prefer are developed. Don't know what the top picture is, but the predominent lichen in the next to last picture is called deer moss. It's another fascinating plant. Thanks for sharing! A great walk through a bit of nature. Marcia

The key would be good quality bases. I don't know what area of the country you are in, but Brambleberry(WA) has some nice bases. Cierra (NV), Majestic Mountain Sage aka MMS or The Sage (UT),From Nature with Love (CT). Snowtop(OH) has some bases too, and Angie is a great lady to deal with. I hope that gives you a few places to look, and maybe some are near you.
