hm yes we should incinerate the earth for this

screaming HOW ARE THE ANTHERS DEHISCING as they drag me away

my favorite plant smell: Ericameria albida. most rabbitbrushes have yellow flowers, but it has white ones and has this amazing citrusy scent

went and found this because the essay i read about it said it was for "4runner environmentalists," which is as seen as i've ever been

Eriogonum diatomaceum is an edaphic endemic with a very narrow range in western nevada. when we visited this year, they were being pollinated by hundreds of tarantula hawks, which reportedly have some of the most painful stings in the world (no personal experience thankfully)

a personal favorite nevada rare plant: Astragalus lentiginosus var. seaquimetralis. alkali playa margins and spring runoff areas in the west-central part of the state. the name means "half meter" in latin and you can see that it lives up to it

one of nevada's best places: the Jarbidge. wetter than most of the great basin, and the easiest place in nevada to spot a moose
