CLODIUS PARNASSIAN BLEEDING HEART KIOSK #09
Northwest Native Conifers
Pilchuck Glass School Pioneers & Auction Centerpiece Designers
Leaf graphics and ranges are “temps,” ranges are from US Government web
pages and Wikipedia; our goal is to use our own photos of real plants in
place in the Gardens.
Engelmann Spruce
This is the 2nd type of spruce native to the State. We host 2 hemlock, 1 larch
3 juniper, 2 cedar, 4 true ir, 1 yew, 1 Douglas Fir, 4 pine; can you identify them?
Think of native trees like a high school with 169 students in a Senior Class and
~20 students in each classroom: there is a classroom of conifers (21), broadleaved
trees (20), except for willows (18), shrubs (35), ground covers (24), ferns (16), 19 roses and berries, and butter lies
(16). If you wish to know the names in a Junior Class of 168 students, you’d memorize our native birds!
1995 - Randy Walker (Candelabra ... assisted Katherine Gray)
Randy was irst mentioned in the ‘95 Auction Catalog as assisting Katherine Gray; he has assisted
in making the 75-100 annual table centerpieces ever since. Today an accomplished artist, his art
is found in Schantz, Imago, Traver, Habitat & many other galleries. From Oklahoma, he lives in
Bellingham. He has given more countless free hours (PGS has kept, until 2014, all revenues
raised at its auctions) than any other artist. It is PGS’s alumni artists who fuel 1/2 its revenue.
Original editions are found in the Church’s Bonhoeffer Hall
on the hill to your East; these are scaled, attached replicas.
Needles of the Engelmann Spruce are scattered over and around each twig with pointed tips; they are not as stiff
and sharp as the Sitka Spruce’s (next Kiosk #10). Slow growing, it is found in damp, often sandy stream bottoms in
mountainous areas; rare here, like the rarer Sub-alpine Fir and Whitebark Pine that you will also see in the Gardens.
2006 - Chuck Lopez (Opaque Vessel)
Chuck has over 2 decades of experiences with Pilchuck Glass, irst as a volunteer, then a student,
summer staff member, teaching assistant and as an Emerging Artist in Residence. He holds a BA
from UofC and a Masters from Alfred University. Find his work today in galleries & museums.
Northwest Native Broadleaved Trees
Apostles & Disciples‘ Martyrdoms & A Later Remembrance
Cascara Buckthorn
Leaves are opposite and 2-6” long, circular and heart shaped at the base. For decades, this was
the tree sought by teenagers wishing “spending money.” Generations of boys and girls peeled
the bark, dried it, and took it to the feed store in bags where it was sold for pennies a pound.
Used for medicine; a laxative, cascara sangrada, was extracted.
Thomas
is the Apostle remembered forever as “doubting Thomas” in the Gospel of John. He traveled south from
the Roman Empire, as far as India, where today he is regarded the Patron Saint of India. His manner
of death is disputed, most likely by the spears and arrows of those who couldn’t believe unless touched.
Peers in Holocaust - Belzec
This was the 1st of the extermination camps created to murder over 6 million Jews (there were but 15
million in the World at the time). Only 7 Jews imprisoned there survived WW II, only 2 submitted stories.
A fast growing tree, usually found in the understory of forests, especially those with a mix of
trees. The fruit is cherry-like, favored by native birds. Clodius Parnassian butter lies also favor
Cascara and Bleeding Hearts, an annual lower often found around Cascara in wet moist areas under
taller trees. A Cascara stands immediately adjacent to your right.
If it’s Spring, can you identify the Bleeding Hearts?
Can you identify the Cascara?
Another Type of Holocaust - Plants (think of many plants that do not easily reseed) The Big Burn
“destruction on a mass scale” occurred where you stand (pioneers submerged in the stream and breathed
through cloth). See the charred stump at your left (fuel was from loggers’ “left-behind” debris). “Everything died.”
Northwest Native Shrubs & Ferns
Other Plants
Red-Osier Dogwood
A many stemmed shrub with young branches bright red to purple (older branches are gray).
Leaves are long and opposite, very green on top; has white clustering lowers. Grows almost
everywhere in the Gardens’ damp soils. Look for bushes with red stems to your left.
Licorice Fern
is an evergreen fern with a licorice- lavored root (rhizome). It was chewed by Native American
Indians for its lavor and used as a medicine for sore throats. Found on moist banks, growing
from logs or as to your left on the stump blackened in the Big Burn (note the loggers’ notches).
This kiosk is planted (Cascara and Bleeding Hearts) to attract Clodius Parnassians, including:
Salmonberry would take over the Gardens if allowed; we have small bushes to
large (12’ high behind you). An important food for the indigenous peoples, its
berries were often mixed with Salmon roe. Pioneers made jellies, candy, jam and
wine from its berries. Another source was the of food was the
Thimbleberry has large green leaves and is a member of the “Rubus” family even
though its branches have no spines. Its lowers are large, white, and give way to a
red bright fruit that is an “aggregate,” like a raspberry.
