Nature Journal: Know the secrets of spring wildflowers

From Mount Rogers in Virginia northward to the Gaspe Penninsula, only Mount Washington in New Hampshire exceeds 6,000 feet.)This topography profoundly influences the region's average temperature — and thereby its plant and animal life, which exhibit strong northern affinities. The principle of verticality states that for each 1,000 feet gained in elevation, the mean temperature decreases about 4 degrees Fahrenheit, equivalent to a change of 250 miles in latitude.This means that if you travel from the lowest elevations in the SBRP at about 1,000 feet to the higher elevations above 6,000 feet, it's the equivalent of traveling more than 1,200 miles northward in regard to the habitats you will encounter.So that’s why so many plants have their southernmost range extensions in the SBRP. And that’s also why so many plants (i.e. spring beauty) have extended flowering periods whereby they are blooming in the lower elevations in early spring and will still be blooming in the highest elevations in early summer.Location, location, locationCertain areas are more floristic than others. For instance, if you happen upon a hillside or small cove literally covered with flowers (especially trillium but many other species, too) while adjacent areas display but a few, you may well have located an outcrop or soil where hornblende gneiss, a mineral rich in plant nutrients, is prevalent.Areas dominated by limestone intrusions are sure-fire, but there aren’t many of them in Western North Carolina. The Linville and Nantahala gorges are, of... (Asheville Citizen-Times)

Arvo A. "Gus" Saarnijoki, 96, plant manager, WWII Navy veteran

He skied until he was 94. He and his wife of 57 years, the former Christine Martin, began their life together hiking to the top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire and riding out a freak snowstorm overnight in a tent. He took many camping vacations in the hills of New England, the Maine seacoast, Canadian maritime provinces and the southern Appalachian Mountains. He also was a gardener, installing fruit, vegetable and flower plants around his homes in Hamburg, Williamsville, Pittsford and Bedford, Va. He volunteered with the Friends of Olmsted Parks in Buffalo, helping restore gardens in South Park and Delaware Park. In October, at age 96, he planted spring bulbs in his garden and along the paths in his retirement community. “They were flowers he might never see, but he wanted others to enjoy them,” said his daughter, Gretchen, wife of former Buffalo News editorial cartoonist Tom Toles. She formerly chaired the board of Buffalo Friends of Olmsted Park. Mr. Saarnijoki died Nov. 17 in Cockeysville, Md., where he had lived since 2015. His family said the cause was complications from pulmonary disease and cancer. Born Arvo August Saarnijoki in Newport, N.H., he earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Mass. After graduation, he worked briefly for a steel company in Pittsburgh, then enlisted in the Navy. He was sent to officer candidate school at Cornell University, attained the rank of lieutenant and served aboard the destroyer USS Macomb in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, then in the Pacific through the end of World War II. Mr. Saarnijoki was wounded in a kamikaze attack off Okinawa and was awarded the Purple Heart. He came to Buffalo in 1946 to work as a con... (Buffalo News)

Rome, and being an associate pastor, at Church of the Ascension in Halethorpe, 1956-64; St. Margaret, 1964-70; Shrine of the Sacred Heart in Mount Washington, 1982-84 and 1986-90; and St. Mark in Catonsville, 1990-91. He also served as a chaplain of the Catholic Evidence League of Baltimore; at the School Sisters of Notre Dame Motherhouse, 1984-86; and at Johns Hopkins Hospital, 1991-98. “When he was at the cathedral, it was one of those things, if you happened to wake up in the hospital, Father Rose would be there,” Abromaitis said. “The chaplaincy at Hopkins was an incredibly strenuous job. He was dedicated to Catholic patients, but he served all patients.” Retired from active ministry in 1998, Father Rose took residence at Mercy Ridge in 2011. He was once quoted as saying, “Growing old has its problems. Growing old as a priest has its joys.” He was raised at St. Leo the Great Parish in Little Italy, and then the former St. Andrew Parish in East Baltimore, attending both of their parish schools. In 1948, he entered what was then Loyola College, before entering St. Mary’s Seminary and University. “He was the ultimate priest in terms of taking care of people,” said his brother, Vincent Rose. “I was always introduced as ‘Father Rose’s sister,’ never Fran,” said his sister, Fran Pilson. “I didn’t mind. He was always there, for our family, and others. Baptism, weddings or funerals, he was the priest people would call.” “He was a great man, one of the greatest,” said Father Michael Roach, pastor of St. Bartholomew in Manchester. “He was one of the greatest liturgical scholars our archdiocese has seen, and a remarkable linguist, but never over-bearing about his expertise. “After his name was read (at St. Bartholomew July 24), a couple came up to me in tears. He had married Jay and Saritha Uebel. He had that effect. People were drawn to him.” A viewing will be held at Ruck Funeral Home on York Road in Towson July 26, 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.; and at the cathedral July 27, 2-8:30 p.m. A vigil service will be held at the cathedral July 27, at 8 p.m. The funeral Mass will be held July 28, at 11 a.m., at the cathedral. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Father Rose’s name may be made to the Retired Archdiocesan Priest Fund, 320 Cathedral Street, Baltimore MD 21201.  ... (The Catholic Review)

Get a Little Wild with Flowers on National Forests, Grasslands

State Route 59 to catch the state flower Mt. Laurel in full bloom. Please pull over in a safe spot before stopping to take photos. Late June-July Mount Washington (White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire): Rising above all other peaks in the northeast, Mt. Washington is a crown jewel of the forest. The landscape features an amazing array of wildflowers in bloom contrasted against the backdrop of green forests and gray rocks. Late June – early August Pennington Bog (Chippewa National Forest, Minnesota):  See wildflowers such as round-leaved orchids and showy lady slippers at their peak. Late June – August Grand Island National Recreation Area (Hiawatha National Forest, Michigan): This area offers a little bit of everything – from forests to shoreline cliffs to beaches to the restored “old farm field,” which features nearly 225,000 native wildflowers. July Catwillow Monarch Area (Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin): Be welcomed by fluttering butterflies when common milkweed is in full bloom. July – August Chittendon Pollinator Gardens (Huron-Manistee National Forest, Michigan): Explore the area’s 26 species of native grasses and wildflowers. More travel and planning ideas are available from the Forest Service’s Celebrating Wildflowers website, which includes a searchable wildflower viewing map. As always, we ask that you enjoy the experience and take pictures, but do not remove vegetation, including wildflowers, from public lands. Almost all wildflowers are fragile and many wilt and perish if disturbed. Where a spring meets a river, the Greer Spring runs into Eleven Point National Scenic River.
