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.
I loved sitting in that grassland and warming up with a rising sun. Is there anything better than sitting quietly and watching the natural...
I’m telling you, late summer and fall are great times to get out into the hills, especially if you want to find interesting plants....
When Petey gets done slinging binomials around he finally decides to talk about a very cool native butterfly.
