Petey reveals the results of eating a little too much ground flax seed. Maybe a little too much information, Petey.
I just love the specific epithet usitatissimum. It’s worth learning just so you can slip in into a conversation. “Well it was a good day and usitatissimum too.” Okay, maybe not. But do try to find the wildflower blue flax, Linum lewisii, in the wild and like I said, the seed and plants are readily available in fun nurseries. So fill up your habitat with blue flax. Just do it.
I neglected to mention that milkweeds are no longer in their own family Asclepiadaceae, but have now been included in the dogbane family Apocynaceae....
Autumn is the season of migration for many avian species and in the borderlands of southern Arizona hummingbirds are passing through, sparrows are arriving...
Petey talks about cactus wrens and his poor hearing too. Hmm, we better listen.
