We hope to visit the American Columbo on Monday, June 22 south of Naples, NY.
If you are interested in joining our adventure to find and appreciate American Colombo please send us an email to canandaiguabotanical@gmail.com and we will share details like location and times.
The American Columbo has been highlighted in several of our Vasculum newsletters:
Spring 2025 - pages 7-8
Summer 2025 - page 11
Fall 2025 - page 16
Monday, June 22, 2026 there were 6 people who went to search for American Columbo blooms. It rained the entire time we climbed the hill, walked the woods and returned back down the hill. We saw plenty of rosettes but no blossoms this year. Bruce did locate the stalk from the one blossom we saw last year. Perhaps next year will be a time for multiple blooms?!?!? Cody will have summer interns do a more scientific count of American Columbo rosettes in the next couple of months.
There's no such thing as poor weather!
