Washington State combines the green (some would say "damp") climate of the western half of the state (the rain courtesy of the moisture of the Pacific Ocean on the west and the barrier or the Cascade Mountains on the east) with the relatively arid eastern half of the state.
One outgrowth (so to speak) of this variety of climate is a wealth of beautiful flowers and plants.
The Burke Museum on the University of Washington campus has a wonderful photographic collections of the many indigenous plants in our state. Take a look.
