Nearly always when one hears
of the National Yellowstone Park
or the Big Horn . mountains one
thinks of geysers, hot springs,
bears and mountain peaks. Sel
dom does one hear the trees or
flowers mentioned. And yet I
believe that I enjoyed these more
than anything else on my entire
drive from Oregonto Wisconsin.
Particularly were the rock gar
dens of the Big Horn lovely. Can
you imagine sloping fields 'high
In the mountains dotted with
flat rocks and .covered with gold
and blue and white and red
bloom? Even ) at an altitude of
over 9000 feet we found marvel
ous blue-and gold floral display.
Each beautifully colored flat
rock lay as if it bad been careful
ly placed there by hand. Each
was bordered iwita lovely flower
ing alpine plants tor which, we
pay handsomely at home. The
grass was : gTeen between the
rocks and masses of flowers; the
trees formed ! a background for
each separate garden and always
the nigged, colorful peaks of Wy
oming's mountains made the per
fect setting for the whole. I don't
believe that I " have ever seen a
more lovely sight than a sunset
on a Wyoming plateau with In
dian paint brush, forget-me-nots.
flax, sunflowers and ; countless
others blooming all about us.
I marveled greatly at the way
the rocks were situated and the
way the flowers grew about them.
Nature's gardener must have
taken particular care to do his
best In the rock gardens of the
Big Horns. We could all learn
much about rockeries by inspect
ing these in our mountains. Color
combinations ' were . also carried
out remarkable well. Blue and
yellow gardens were the ' most
plentiful and' dozens ot varieties
went to .carry out the scheme.
There were larkspur growing in
the sunny open places which were
yet not too dry. Cammas was still
blooming in the lower and damp
er regions of the mountains. Iris,
while "its season seemed to be
waning, was ' still . in bloom. The
blue-eyed grass was everywhere.
A marsh marigold, which is yel
low, in the eastern states, proved
blue "in Wyoming. ; There were
plenty of monkshoods in the
molster places. The wlndflower
or anenome which we cultivate so
much in the Willamette valley
grew all over the moutftains. Lu
pins in both dwarf and taller var
ietles was plentiful.' Blue flax
added its lovely shade. Both
f ranged gentian and star gentian
grew along' the mountain streams
and over the moist meadows. The
true forget-me-not I -was surprlS'
ed to find running wild. There
seemed to be both a tiny variety,
growing ao more than two inches.
and a taller one. There were sev
eral kinds of Peotstemons (beard
tongues) throughout the park
and over the mountains. There
were jrellow daisies and sunflow
ers. Most of 'the Wyoming eolum-
oine which -e saw "were yellow
although some were marked with

to be a closer scrutiny ot the old
for the new and at the same time
granting ourselves moire latitude
with forr" Jron clad rules. The
old saylag""there is no thing new
under the sun" Is particularly
true of architecture, therefore, we
must review the old with new
eyes and dlscover'what has hereto-fore
been overlooked. In the
actual working out of the .theory
we find ourselves adapting .old
forms and motifs in a new. yet
perfectly natural manner. Prob
ably much the same as our ances
tors would have done bad they
been building under present-day
conditions. ,

DOES YOUR I
GARDEN GROW?
stonecrop hung from the erags in
the rocks In such, a manner that
one - often wondered . what they
found to grow from or how they
could hang on at all. The wild
geranium added much color and
was found most frequently In
treeless plaees where there was
sufficient water. Evening prim
rose grew in well-drained, mod
erately dry soils, and the Rock
rose, closely resembling the prim
rose was also found though in
frequently. The Rock rose is a
lovely flower and attracted ' con
siderable attention - from - our
party.
The scarlet Indian paintbrush
(Castillela) was one of the most
showy flowers found In the park
and mountains. They grew in the
dry open, stony places. The flow
ers are tubular and are inter
spersed with leaves of the same
scarlet as the flowers themselves.
The Indian ' paint brush also
comes in white but of course this
was much less noticeable. -
It Interested me to find a cac
tus (Optuntia) growing on the
plateaus of Wyoming's mountains
and lower lands. I was somewhat
of the opinion the cacti would
not grow where the winters were
even as cold aa those we have in
the Willamette valley and . yet
here they were growing where
the temperatures reach degrees be
low. The pink and yellow blooms
growing fiat on top of the low
plants greatly resembled water
lilies. The drawback was the
beastly prickles but even at that.
they would be an interesting ad
dition to ones Oregon rockery,
One of the flowers which In
terested me as much as any one'
otner was the little fragrant
phlox which grew in such masses
over" the rocks. The plants are
low and cushion-like and are cov
ered with a carpet of small white
flowers. These would be a wel
come addition to' any rock gar
a en. I am not positive but I do
believe that the Phlox Hoodli fits
the description ot the little na
tive of the Wromlnar rocks.
I have mentioned only a few of
ine many flowers that 1 found
here I could have a Big : Horn
rock garden in my own back
yard. Evidently if: the right flow
ers are planted in the right man
ner a rock garden needs ' little
care. Certainly no one wis weed

mountain gardens. ,
