Petey can’t get to the mountains, but the mountains come to him. Lucky dude.
Monarda menthaefolia or bee balm is a spectacular wildflower. Well worth a trip into a pine forest to find it. And, by the way, an excellent nectar plant for butterflies, if that is of interest to you. Anyway, I feel so fortunate that I found one growing way downstream from any pine forest and it made my day.
There are a couple other species of Eysenhardtia found over in Texas and more species as you head into Mexico and as far south...
Petey seems to think we all need to get out and about to see cool plants and animals. Okay. I still love road trips...
Lotus greenei has the common names of deer vetch, deer clover or, red and yellow pea. I like the last one best as it...
