Petey talks about Irises and very good dog. Makes sense, sorta.
Irises are found around the world. I’ve seen them atop our sky islands and I’ve seen them in a Jordanian desert. They are beautiful and Iris lovers are fanatical. Who can blame them? Our local native is Iris missouriensis and found in moist meadows high in the mountains. That would be a nice trip and maybe you have a good dog that would go with you.
While weeding and cleaning his greenhouse Petey finds a nifty native Salvia sp. and tells us all about it.
Cliffrose is the star of this show. It also goes by the common name of quinine bush or its scientific name is Purshia mexicana....
Petey wonders what new roads and paths will reveal to him in the coming year and remembers a very good road.
