Presenter: Mo Ewing, M.S.
Become acquainted with the wonderful world of Colorado wildflowers and get started on developing skills to identify different species found on the eastern and western slopes. In the first half of our webinar, we will discuss how plants are named and identified, review basic plant morphology, and look at the characteristics of 13 common plant families. After a short break, we will take a virtual tour of some wonderful places to hike, from the Pawnee Buttes on the eastern great plains to the spectacular montane flowers of Gothic, to the pinyon-juniper woodlands in Colorado National Monument, pointing out some of the common species that you will see there.
