This walk through Eastmoreland was not very hilly, but made up for it with flowers* in the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, one of my favorite places.

I learned how aquifers develop and that the Missoula Floods created a perfect environment to store water underground in the Willamette valley. I finally learned what those droopy blobby trees are, but not why they grow like this in Portland. I connected horsetail tea with the plant, which is very primordial-looking. I learned how Dutch elm disease is dealt with in Portland. And finally, I identified bigleaf lindens.
