Thanks to all who entered our Wildflower Book Give Thanks to all who entered our Wildflower Book Giveaway!

We loved reading through all your favorite flowers! The fairy slipper orchid (Calypso bulbosa, featured here) was a common pick—and for good reason. Guess how many orchid species call the Klamath Mountains home…

(Hint: it’s a lot)

Find the answer in our new Wildflowers of the Klamath Mountains TRIVIA CHALLENGE podcast episode! Listen at our link in profile or wherever you catch your podcasts.

🌼 Here’s our randomly chosen winning wildflower bouquet:

1. Escholtzia californica (@danagardenhome)

2. Tiger lily (@muirinspired)

3. Shepherd’s lettuce (@peachhfuzzz)

4. Larkspur (@luckycharnes)

5. Aquilegia formosa (@weavesandsticks)

New Podcast Episode: A 🌼 TRIVIA CHALLENGE!

We’ve put together a little trivia podcast game for you on WILDFLOWERS of the KLAMATH MOUNTAINS—that wildly biodiverse and complex corner of northwest CA and southwest OR that has captured our hearts and minds.

We thought this game would be fun to play along with as you and your pals drive to the trailhead for an epic mountain adventure, or perhaps as you do the dinner dishes…whatever you’re up to!

🎧 Find this episode of THE BACKCOUNTRY BEAT at our Link In Profile or wherever you listen to  podcasts.

🤓 This is an experiment, and our 1st stab at a Nature Nerd Trivia Game, so please do let us know how you did and what you thought in the comments!

📷 Featured Wildflower: Cut-leaf Fleabane (Erigeron compositus) in the Marble Mountains.
