After earning a few dollars working on my brother-in law's farm near Portage [Wisconsin], I set off on the first of my long lonely excursions, botanising in glorious freedom around the Great Lakes and wandering through innumerable tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps, and forests of maple, basswood, ash, elm, balsam, fir, pine, spruce, hemlock, rejoicing in their bound wealth and strength and beauty, climbing the trees, revelling in their flowers and fruit like bees in

Answer 9

I think I get it...This is on "The Calypso Borealis", right?

The author, John Muir is describing and telling his events of a long search for a rare woodland flower. He began the story with "first of [his] long lonely excursions. He is also telling about his love and interest in nature. He was discouraged in finding the Calypso (the rare flower) because he had to pass "arbor-vitae swamps", but rejoiced the "bound wealth" of the forest.

I forgot what happened after that, only that there was a flower by a stream or something like that. @iamabarbiegirl your passage that you posted is not complete.
