From Panayoti Kelaidis on Facebook :
1) " 31 years ago this month I drove from Chicago to Saginaw and was first dazzled by the woodlands full of Trillium grandiflorum. I relived that dazzlement yesterday on a Nature Conservancy woodland near Ann Arbor on a North American Rock Garden Society conference field trip! Thanks to the Great Lakes Chapter for an awesome meeting! — in Ann Arbor, Michigan"
2) "Stunning display of birdsfoot violet (Viola pedata) on Saturday in a Nature Conservancy sand barren preserve near Ann Arbor--fabulous national meeting of the North American Rock Garden Society hosted by the Great Lakes Chapter. (Don't miss these meetings--next one in June 2016 in Steamboat Springs)"
