Show Notes

IMG_5383 Petey is enticed into the hills to look at plants and there is much excitement. Petey is easy.

Summer rains bring our cool native plants into flower. And the floral show goes on and on as you work your way up into the hills and mountains where some of the most spectacular flowers can be found in late summer and early fall. So now is the time to go. So go.
