John Olmsted

Sonnet for John Olmsted
 
The bridge across the universe is crossed
Like native red raspberries through the frost
The battle with the Himalayans staged
With enemy blackberries still engaged
 
If work and love were always so combined
With nobody nor nothing left behind
Then every creature here below would be
Enjoying nature’s planned prosperity
 
A red-winged blackbird streaks across the scene
An elegant white iris wild and free
The misty clouds above the waterfall
This heavenly display is seen by all
 
The smiling face, the clippers and the glove
The wonder filled adventures from above
 
June 4, 2011 Suzanne Weller

California Flora Database -Information, from 'Species Reports', on "wild" California plants for use in conservation, education, and appreciation. Search by geographic and ecological distribution, updated species data, plant name (common, scientific or family), lifeform, native/non-native, or by plant community. The database is on vascular plants that are native (indigenous) or naturalized (growing, reproducing and persisting in the wild without human intervention) to the political boundaries of California. The database DOES NOT contain information on plants growing with human intervention, such as gardens, manicured parks, or strictly agricultural weeds (generally: being watered, sheltered or cared for in some way).
