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.
Lesquerella is named in honor of Leo Lesquereaux and Wikipedia reminds me that he was a “Swiss bryologist and a pioneer of American paleobotany.”...
Petey finds a seep in the dry stream be of the Ol’ Guajolote and there are deer tracks in the soft mud.
Happy New Year!
