MOONED IN SHOW LOW (AZ)

[cool]Hey, RNL, you know your stuff. Although the Palmers may be common in states with higher altitudes and cooler climates, they are found only in a few spots in Arizona. In our lower and warmer elevations we have more of the Perry penstemon and the "firecracker"...with bright red blooms. None of them have been abundant the last four years, with the continuing drought.

If you are into interesting scents, you need to visit the southwest and sniff the purplish blooms of the Texas mountain laurel. They smell just like concord grapes.
