I am a plant enthusiast who combs the forests of the Pacific Northwest in search of mutants. In this blog, I describe my finds, and the insane lengths to which I sometimes go to propagate them.

A Giant Cluster of Grapes
I haven't had a chance to do a single day of plant hunting this year. This makes me grumpy.
I did find this broom by chance, though. It is in a Ponderosa Pine in eastern Washington. It looks like a giant cluster of grapes hanging from a single branch. I wonder how long it will be before it just breaks off and falls to the ground.
Of interest in this broom are loads of female cones. I will try to collect seeds later in the month- as well as grafts in the winter.
