Plants of Interior Alaska

This summer I traveled around interior Alaska collecting plant ecology data for the National Ecological Observatory Network. This series is compiled of some of the photos I took of plants over the past few months. Note that photos were taken with sometimes ID in mind but, also sometimes aesthetic.
