Green Roof in Anchorage

This green roof caught my eye in downtown Anchorage. The Visitor Information Center is covered with a meadow of local wildflowers, reminiscent of a prairie sod roof from pioneer days.

The log cabin is also surrounded with annuals in shades of pink and purple. Annuals are very popular in a place with a short and intense growing season. The soil is rich with nitrogen so the flowers grow large and bold.
