Arctic Willow [Contest Finalists June 2003]
Uploaded: May 31, 2003 22:49:28
Salix artica - Another plant growing on Thompson Pass - A very small family of willow that grows as runners in the tundra. Sometimes they're just a little bundle of leaves sticking out of the ground. They make some fairly large pussy willows though. This one is roughly 1.5 cm in diameter.

Looks poisonous, Gary!! You know what they say about red plants! Nice shot! #107330Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
Thanks for all your great comments! I'm glad so many of you find these wild plants interesting. It's a whole different world on top of the mountain where the summers are extremely short and everything is buried in 20 - 50 ft of snow all winter. Everything except alders is very short and tiny. #107461Tracy L. Kolisnyk May 26, 2019

Thank you, everyone for your very nice congratulations and well wishes! I was a bit surprised that out of all my entries last month, this one would make the finals. A pleasant surpise, though :-) I appreciate all the continual support that you all give me on a daily basis! #139430Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
