Rumex hastatulus
It was one of those moments. I was biking along a rails to trails, stopping and taking pictures of this and that plant for past and future blogs. Better pictures are always good. I was taking a picture of a pin cherry blossom when a woman walking on the trail asked me what it was because she said she had never seen it blossoming. I told her then pointed out a few more plants and even got her to sample some Rumex hastatulus. I also showed her some Teloxys ambrosiodes, which we only smelled, having no tacos available. I handed her a “Green Deane, eattheweeds.com” card and she started walking. About a hundred feet away, she turned around and yelled “Deane!” I looked up and she said “you made my day.” …and she made mine.
