Species List


Founded in 1965, the Glide Wildflower Show is the largest display of native flora in the northwest.  Over 600 species of flowers, shrubs, grasses, ferns, lichens and mosses are gathered by dozens of collecting teams who travel throughout southwest Oregon from the Cascade Mountains to the coast.

Oregon's changing weather provides each year's event with a different combination of species in bloom.  Identity of each specimen is confirmed by professional botanists and artfully vased for dispy.

Additional displays feature noxious weeds, medicinal plants, natural dyes, and photographs of rare and endangered plants.

Mark your calendar for the last full weekend of April.
