Show Notes

I was looking through photos that I’ve taken of this plant over the years and realized I even have 35 mm slides of Jatropha macrorhiza. Slide show! So yeah, this is a favorite plant. And, I love this description from the web site SEINet: Jatropha macrorhiza “is a charismatic plant you won’t forget once you recognize it. The large, palmately lobed, bristle-toothed leaves coming out of an erect stem with pink flowers really stands out.” Yup! The photos are mine of the newly emerging plants on the rocky hillside described in this episode.
