The 36th glide wildflower show will be held April 27 & 28, 2002
at the Glide Community Building, 20062 N. Umpqua Highway (17 miles east
of Roseburg, Oregon on Highway 138).
The 36th annual Glide Wildflower Show opens the last weekend in April
at the Glide Community Building in Glide, Oregon. Of interest for
Friends of Crater Lake will be a Crater Lake talk at the Glide
Wildflower Show 1:45-2:45, Sunday, April 28. The show features hundreds
of plants from Southwestern Oregon, arranged and identified by botanical
and common names. Included are exhibits and specimens of wildflowers,
trees, shrubs, lichens, liverworts, mosses, ferns, and grasses.
Photographs of rare and endangered species are on display.
The show is held in the Glide Community Building, 17 miles east of
Roseburg on Highway 138. Suggested donation is $2 per person. The show
opens for photographers only Saturday and Sunday morning (8-9 a.m.)
prior to the public hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday, April 29,
is for school groups, by prearrangement. A floral book and an
identification guide will be available for a nominal charge. The show
is sponsored by community volunteers and the Glide Community Club.
THE GLIDE WILDFLOWER SHOW started in 1965 as a benefit to raise money
for building repairs for the Glide Community Club. For the first show,
plant authority Reggie Miller collected and arranged 91 specimens that
were enjoyed by two dozen visitors. Now thousands of visitors from all
over the world come to see hundreds of cataloged and
labeled plants. The Flower show emphasizes education, appreciation, and
conservation and organizes and trains plant collectors for the show, who
follow conservation guidelines and obtain collecting permits. (FOR
CONSERVATION REASONS, PLEASE DO NOT BRING UNSOLICITED SPECIMENS TO THE
SHOW.) This annual show features hundreds of plants from southwestern
Oregon. Included are exhibits and specimens of wild flowers, trees,
shrubs, lichens, liverworts, mosses, ferns, and grasses, all arranged
and identified by botanical and common names. Photographs of rare and
endangered species are also on display.
The Wildflower show displays specimens representing a variety of
habitats in Southwest Oregon, differing each year according to weather
and uses professional botanists from throughout the Pacific Northwest,
who volunteer to identify and classify exhibit specimens. It is made
possible by coordinated volunteer efforts of local residents, charter
members of the Glide Wildflower Show Council and other friends of the
flora.
Getting to the Bottom of Things at Crater Lake
The Crater Lake talk at the Glide Wildflower Show (1:45-2:45, Sunday, April 28) -
Mac Brock, Crater Lake National Park's Chief of Resources, presents a slide show about a
recent research project that precisely mapped the floor of Crater Lake
(unmapped since 1896), using complex multibeam technology. The 16
million soundings revealed hitherto unknown information about the
formation and chronology of the caldera: its multiple eruptions, massive
landslides that rafted football-field-size boulders into the water,
ancient lake shores, and underwater platforms. Learn the latest geologic
findings about Crater Lake...and learn how deep it really is!
The hours for the general public are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. both
Saturday and Sunday. The hour between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. on both days
is reserved for photographers only. On Monday, the show will open to
school groups by advance reservations.
A suggested donation of $2 per person is optional. The facility is
wheelchair accessible.
