Crime:
Role of Wildflowers
in Protecting the Environment Goes Unreported!
How
can wildflowers survive if every spring
and fall we survey our yards, gardens
and grounds, sow hybridized grasses,

Nature
Sends a Wildflower Holiday Greeting
The
Desert Christmas Cholla isn't the potted
Christmas cactus your grandmother got
excited about, but better than that,
it grows outdoors, on its own, and will
happily spread to a handsome 5' X 5'
in your yard if you find a sprig of it

When
Nature Takes Over Your Wildflowers
"Wow!"
The neighborhood women’s walking group
stopped abruptly. Word is, nothing can
interrupt their moving conversation,
traveling, systematically, street by
street in this section of a quiet Southwestern
town, unaware of being a human alarm
for any who dare to sleep past seven.
I

Me,
Building a rock
garden out of several tons of elemental
debris from a construction site. It cost
me $50 to have it hauled to my driveway—less
than 6 blocks away...and all mixed together,
dirt and rocks. The $50 went to the dump
truck driver, not to the owner of the property
from which it was excavated! What did I
learn: to
negotiate! [Read

Just
then a beautiful photograph caught her
eye. Such a profusion of fuchsia
she imagined could exist only in the
tropics…She picked up the nursery insert…“What
are these? They seem vaguely familiar.” She flashed back to her grandmother sitting
on the front porch snapping beans in
the late afternoon, around 4:00.
“That's
it! Four o’clocks!” Pleased
with her natural recall, she scoured
the ad for confirmation, just in case!
Mirabilis froebelii, Desert Four O'clock.
It was so similar to the four o'clocks
she'd known as a child, she wondered
about the word “desert.” CLICK
