2B | WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 | APPEAL TRIBUNE Garden Continued from Page 1B For the same reasons that viewers can’t see into the plant, flies can’t make it out. The exterior of the cobra lily’s head has a waxy lace texture, between which translucent membranes serve as false openings, or escape routes, for the bugs. Tired and confused, flies that don’t find the small entrance they came through tumble into the shaft of the lily after fu- tilely attempting to flee through the top of the dome. Unable to climb back up the slippery walls, this is where insects drown and begin to digest in the lily’s enzymes. Glowing translucent domes across the clearing continue secreting nectar as they digest their last feasts. “The plant’s translucent hood is quite beautiful,” said Havel. “Especially when the sun gets through the forest around it.” Florence’s backyard botanical garden Although noise from the highway can be heard throughout the site, the looping trail and brief visits usually make for an empty boardwalk. “While it’s well-known, most stays are short, so you’re unlikely to feel crowded,” said Havel. Five miles north of downtown Flor- ence, the site is named after William Darlington, a Philadelphia botanist who lived in the 1800s. A few signs along the trail offer visitors informa- tion about the spectacle around them. Because of their alien appearance and bug-eating habit, carnivorous plants like the Darlingtonia californi- ca have also become popular house- plants for growers who can maintain the cool running water of their native bogs. To many, the maintenance required to keep these fussy carnivores cool and moist is worth it. Once a year, the ornamental leaves are towered by dangling purple blooms. And in their off-season, the veined green cobra lily is still far prettier than a strip of flypa- per. But for Oregonians traveling on the coast, this uncommonly accessible patch of cobra lilies is just steps away. And you can probably leave the bug After the short wooded path, a boardwalk cuts through the bog, from which visitors can look down on the cobra lilies all around them. PHOTOS BY WESLEY LAPOINTE/STATESMAN JOURNAL There are thousands of cobra lilies in this small bog, tucked between the highway and Florence’s famous dunes. spray in the car; the cobra lilies have you covered.

Continued from Page 1B “It was the only time we had a disease in 20 years, and we had to turn them loose early,” Byrd said of Rhoades Pond. Despite baking temperatures in the Willamette Val- ley during most of the summer, the seaward side of the Coast Range was somewhat spared. In fact, there was a light drizzle during the Aug. 17 trap-and-transplant ef- forts. “We’ve been pretty fortunate on healthy water; this Three Rivers water has been really great,” Byrd said, and then grinned. “Knock wood.” Rehn added: “Luckily, you know, it’s been really hot over in the valley. But as you can see we have a marine climate over here, so even though we haven’t been get- ting the rain, the night temperatures have been cool enough that our water is doing better.” It takes more than 300 volunteers to get through the annual cycle at Rhoades Pond, Byrd said. “And I couldn’t tell you how many hours we put in, but it’s a lot through the whole season,” he added. It starts with collecting the adult Chinook that are just beginning to show up at the mouth of the Nestucca at the Pacific Ocean. “The broodstock (adult) collection will start the first Obituaries Jean Elaine Fennimore MT.ANGEL - The Gates of heaven welcomed one more angel as Jean Elaine Fennimore passed away August 24th 2021 in Mt Angel. She was born to Les- ter and Edna Dowe in Brooks Oregon on June 19th 1934. On June 19th 1954 she married Edgar J Fennimore, and together they built and maintained a beautiful family and relationship that lasted over six decades. She en- joyed traveling, playing cards with friends, slot machines, and mostly spending time with her family. Jean is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, brothers Gerald, Timothy, and Dennis, baby granddaughter Barbara Jean and daughter in law Juanita. She is survived by her children Michael (Judy) of Aloha, Patrick of Silverton, Melodee (Dan) Corgan of Salem, and Ted of Salem. Her brothers Ron and Kim, sisters Betty and Judy, 19 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. A graveside service will be held Thursday Sep- tember 2nd at Calvary cemetery in Mt Angel Or- egon.

Angel, Oregon HENRY MILLER/ SPECIAL TO THE STATESMAN JOURNAL of October, and then we’ll be spawning,” Byrd said. The salmon are raised to fingerling size at Cedar Creek Hatchery, and volunteers will muck out the pond in preparation for their arrival in March. “We have the core work group, and then you have the 14 feeders who feed every day twice a day,” Byrd said. When the fish are large enough in mid-June, there is an all-comers “party” involving about 100 volunteers and members of the public to clip the adipose fin, a stub- by lobe just behind the dorsal fin on each of the salmon to mark them as hatchery fish legal to keep by anglers. Participants in that event are rewarded with a free thank-you barbecue and raffle drawings. The grand finale is the August netting, trucking and release of the fish. Rhoades smolts are released at sites on the Nestucca from Farmer Creek Boat Ramp downriver to the mouth. “Down lower in the basin, because we don’t want them on spawning grounds with the native (non-hatch- ery) salmon,” Rehn said, adding about the size of the smolts, “the idea is that when these fish are released out in the river, they’re pretty much heading right out into the estuary and then out into the ocean, getting them out and away from the predators in the rivers and bays.” Given the thousands of volunteer hours over the course of the year, do the Nestucca Anglers volunteers ever get a break? Byrd let out a hearty laugh. “There’s a tiny vacation around Christmas,” he said, only half-jokingly. “That’s when the hatchery takes over.” Speaking of Oregon salmon Sept. 1 is the first day that you can order the updated, more colorful Oregon salmon license plates. The additional fee — not yet posted, but was $30 for the previous version for a used passenger vehicle — goes toward protection and restoration of native salmon hab- itat. On a personal note, I had the previous version, which was offered beginning in 1998. Art for the new plates was created by Gretchen Kirch- ner, a former graphic designer for the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board. To apply online or for more infor- mation, go to Oregon Department of Transportation : Index : Oregon Driver & Motor Vehicle Services : State of Oregon Procrastinators have just a couple of days to get the previous version of the salmon plate by applying be- fore Aug. 31 at the same web pages. This week’s chuckle: I never thought of myself as a muck-raking journalist, but someone at Rhoades Pond apparently was told to drop off a rake used for getting out the sludge in the back of a white Toyota pickup truck in the parking lot. There were two or three. Fortunately, the implement was spotted before heading out ... Or maybe some wag was trying to tell me something. HenryMillerSJ@gmail.com
