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.
Happy New Year!
What is it about sycamore trees? When I mention a sycamore or show a photo of one to someone, invariably they declare their love...
Petey seems to think that fall is made up of many smaller seasons that make for one long glorious autumn. That’s what he says.
