A look at balsamroot (Balsamorhiza) of the sunflower family under the microscope. With a small staff and a large network of volunteers, OregonFlora has created a repository of information about plants across Oregon. The project manages oregonflora.org and a wildflowers app, has produced two Flora of Oregon print volumes and is finalizing production on a third volume. Linda Hardison, OregonFlora’s director, leads the effort from Oregon State University in Corvallis.
