I just loved this article.
I have been on an extended road trip through Oregon, Calif., Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and now headed through the top part of Nevada, bottom of Idaho and back home to Dallas, Oregon.
On this trip I am amazed to find that most people don't seem to know the names of the native plants blooming all around them on the deserts and meadow lands. Even people that have lived in the area all their life.
As I have been taking photos I have been working at identifying them. What a task it has been, but a fun one for sure.
