Poppy [Papaver rhoeas]

Poppy
A poppy is a flowering plant in the subfamily Papaveroideae of the family Papaveraceae. Poppies are herbaceous plants, often grown for their colourful flowers. One species of poppy, Papaver somniferum, is the source of the narcotic drug mixture opium, which contains powerful medicinal alkaloids such as morphine and has been used since ancient times as an analgesic and narcotic medicinal and recreational drug. It also produces edible seeds. Following the trench warfare in the poppy fields of Flanders, Belgium, during World War I, poppies have become a symbol of remembrance of soldiers who have died during wartime, especially in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other Commonwealth realms.

11/8 China rockfish, wild or farmed salmon, avian flu, Manson Bay Forest, 'Galloping Gertie,' week in review

China Rockfish

China Rockfish Sebastes nebulosus
China Rockfish can be found from Kodiak Island, AK to southern California at depths between 3 m (10 ft) and 128 m (420 ft). They are more common however, between British Columbia and central California, at depths greater than 10 m (33 ft). Chinas almost exclusively prefer rocky habitat with high relief and complexity. Interestingly, China Rockfish have also been seen cohabitating with Giant Pacific Octopus in rock crevices. This species is known to have particularly small home ranges while also being territorial. Research conducted off of Vancouver Island showed that they are a relatively sedentary species after they reach adulthood, only moving around 10 m (33ft) from their home. China Rockfish grow up to 45 cm (18 in) in length and 1.9 kg (4.2 lb) in weight, living for up to at least 79 years. (WDFW)

That piece of salmon in your shopping cart, is it really wild or is it farmed?
Salmon is part of the Pacific Northwest’s culture and diet. Wild-caught salmon are prized, and they cost more. It’s one reason Washington lawmakers passed legislation in 2013 making it unlawful to knowingly mislabel seafood. The law also requires sellers to provide information whether salmon being sold is wild-caught or farm-raised.  Ruby de Luna reports. (KUOW)

'Galloping Gertie': Looking back at the 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse
Thursday marks the 84th anniversary of when the Tacoma Narrows Bridge infamously collapsed due to strong winds in 1940. The bridge, also commonly referred to as Galloping Gertie, had just opened to the public four months earlier and used to oscillate even as it was being built, according to HistoryLink.org. The site continues to note the bridge was built weaker than its original design in a bid to save money — an ill-fated decision, as it turned out. (KOMO)

Indian Plum Oemleria cerasiformis
The genus is named after Augustus Gottlieb Oemler (1773-1852), a German naturalist from Savannah, Georgia, who was the first to collect the species. It is native from the area around Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia to Santa Barbara County in California on the west slope of the Cascades and Sierra Nevadas.

11/6 English ivy, Snohomish R rights, Upthegrove leads, BC port lockout, Canada oil gas cap rules, avian flu

 

English Ivy

English Ivy Hedera helix L.
European colonists introduced English ivy as early as 1727. It is widely planted for its evergreen foliage and dependability as a year-round “carefree” groundcover. Although recognized as a serious weed of natural ecosystems, parks, landscapes and other areas, it continues to be sold and marketed as an ornamental plant in the United States. Vast resources, time and labor are expended attempting to manage infestations on public and private lands. English ivy is an aggressive invader that threatens all vegetation levels of forested and open areas, growing along the ground as well as into the forest canopy. Vines climbing up tree trunks spread out and envelop branches and twigs, blocking sunlight from reaching the host tree’s foliage, thereby impeding photosynthesis. (Invasives)
