Petey will never be a learned fellow, but he’s a pretty nice fella.
Tufted evening primrose (Oenothera caespitosa) is beautiful wildflower of the uplands. And though seeing it on a summer hike sounds hot and grueling, it does bloom into the fall. If you want one for your own habitat, it is grown commercially, so look for it in a good little nursery. But I do hope you stumble upon it on an early morning hike in the hills.
Petey thinks it is just fantastic that poison ivy is part of the Bisbee streetscape. He’s a strange fellow. Poison ivy is a sumac....
Petey clambers over barbed wire fences in botanical pursuit. Please be careful Petey!
Petey talks about cactus wrens and his poor hearing too. Hmm, we better listen.
