[The Borage Family in Mt. Adams Country]

The photo above shows a close-up frontal view of the flower of common hound's-tongue as seen at about 3650' at the end of forest road #170 on the southwestern flanks of King Mt., several miles southeast of Mt. Adams itself..........July 17, 2005. Common hound's-tongue is a weedy species which often becomes distributed along roadsides and then eventually into clearcuts or other disturbed areas. At this point, this site is the only know location for this plant above 3500' on Mt. Adams, although there are probably numerous additional sites that it exists at.
