Sorry, I don't understand your question. What rosebuds are fake? And how do we know what they looked like before?
For those who didn't understand what Travis meant when he said,
"I'm really into exploring our little forest," he was referring to one of the spectacular forests in and around Yreka. Klamath National Forest, headquartered in Yreka, is "a 1,737,774-acre national forest in the Klamath Mountains, located in Siskiyou County in northern California, but with a tiny extension into southern Jackson County in Oregon."
Crater Lake National Park in southern Oregon is about 2 hours from Yreka also has gorgeous forests.
Three of the entries from the book "
1000 Places to Visit Before You Die" are in Oregon; Jodi said she and Travis planned to visit all three:
811. The Oregon Coast
812. Oregon Shakespeare Festival
814. Crater Lake National Park
Cancun, OTOH, is NOT listed as one of the 1000 places to visit before you die.

THE FOREST COVER
Second to the wonderful blue lake in the crater of the former Mount Mazama, the most attractive feature of the park is its heavy mantle of beautiful coniferous forests. Within the confines of the park there are represented more than a dozen cone-bearing species—pines, firs, hemlocks, and others—growing in pure bodies or mingled together, forming a confused, broken cover. The few broad-leaf trees that climb this high in the mountains are mostly small and shrubby, forming all underbrush in the open forests and thickets in the moist ground along the streams.

Like No Place Else On Earth
Crater Lake has inspired people for thousands of years. No place else on earth combines a deep, pure lake, so blue in color; sheer surrounding cliffs, almost two thousand feet high; two picturesque islands; and a violent volcanic past. It is a place of immeasurable beauty, and an outstanding outdoor laboratory and classroom."
