Also from Matt Mattus :

"How many plant societies can say this - the ‪‎NARGS 2016‬ annual meeting of the North American Rock Garden Society in Steamboat Springs, CO featured 7 speakers, 5 of which were under 40, and look at how many were in the 20's and 30's! ‪#‎vibrantfuture‬,‪#‎NARGS2020‬,- Hey, maybe you should join too?"

-and of course, many here are already NARGS members!

Final pic from Vail - showing the mural in the alpine house - not too easy to see this because of the strong sunlight making shadows on the wall....

Mike Kintgen was, of course, a very important mover and shaker for this conference - this portrait of him at Windy Ridge is by Lisa Roper
