PORT TOWNSEND — A “What’s New on the Olympic Peninsula Talk” focusing on flora will take place at the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St., today.
The talk, sponsored by the Olympic Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society, kicks off with social time at 6:30 p.m., followed by the 7 p.m. program. All are welcome to the free event.
Flora of the Olympic Peninsula by Nelsa Buckingham, Janis Burger and others was published in 1995 by the Northwest Interpretive Association with the support of the Washington Native Plant Society.
In the intervening years, over 100 additional species have been discovered growing on the Olympic Peninsula.
Fred Weinmann will briefly describe the history of botanizing on the Olympic Peninsula and provide an update of the flora.
He also will refresh memories with illustrated examples about the number and nature of rare and endemic species on the Peninsula.
