Petey gets so excited about the Apache Pine. What’s up with that?
Pinus englemannii is it’s northern most range in southeastern Arizona. Though at first glance it appears to be a Ponderosa Pine, certainly the very long needles give it away. It’s one of my favorite pines to grow and I take them to the farmers markets in Cochise County to sell. I suspect they will make me rich. It could happen.
Petey feels the need to blame someone for our erratic monsoon and takes it out on La Nina.
There are many nations and languages found in the borderlands. The photos are mine.
While weeding and cleaning his greenhouse Petey finds a nifty native Salvia sp. and tells us all about it.
