Introduction Kasey Petrochko

My name is Kasey Petrochko and I am a pharmacy technician at Costco here in Fairbanks! I was born and raised in Georgia, then I moved and lived in Utah for 9 years then after meeting my husband, I moved to Alaska where I have been for 2 years now. I am a chemistry major but currently I am taking this class as a prerequisite for my Associates of Science. I will graduate in December with my very first ever college degree! My favorite plant is the hydrangea flower which unfortunately is not native to Alaska. I do not really have a botanical journey due to the fact I only look at plants but do not buy nor grow my own. I also come from the desert of Utah where very little plant life grew besides Joshua trees and cacti. I am looking forward to learning more about plants in this class. I will be honest, I do not know much about plants beyond that they are pretty to look at.

This is a picture of my favorite flower which is the hydrangea.

    Welcome Kasey, hopefully after this class you will be vowed by plants all around you. BTW, there are some very cool plants in Utah in the desert. Ephedra (Mormon-tea) is my favorite plant, and there are great stands of this plant in Utah, near Salt Lake, towards the four corners area and of course south into Arizona. I miss the desert, but luckily I am able to go mostly every year for my research. Ephedra trifurca S. Wats. in AZ.
