Petey babbles on about the southern sun, long shadows, kinetic art in the house and finally a small primrose. Whew!
Oenothera primiveris seems a few hundred feet in elevation out of place at out home near the banks of the Ol’ Guajolote. Its normal range is listed as only up to 4,500′, but then plants can be so unruly. Guess we’re lucky to have this beautiful little harbinger of spring around the 1991 Marvellette.
This was a fun episode to write…well, maybe fun isn’t the right word, but it was great to get excited about hedgehog cactus again....
Petey finds a seep in the dry stream be of the Ol’ Guajolote and there are deer tracks in the soft mud.
