    This year I am fortunate to be witnessing a really good floral display in our local desert. One
    particular piece of flora, I had yet to encounter in eight years of living here. I wasn't quite sure
    of the name until Sunday, while riding with a hottie from Moab who is a seasonal NPS employee in
    that area. It's called Scorpion Weed. I knew they were stoners...

    Now, we turn to the red side of the spectrum with the ever-beautiful Claretcup cactus. My
    personal favorite.

    Now for some whitebread, the Utah state flower as chosen by grade school students throughout the
    Beehive State in the late 19th Century, the Sego Lily. Last year they were nonexistant because of
    the drought. This year they are proliferating the desert scrubland, making a carpet of white and
    light lavender (lavender caused by cross pollination from a relative...funny, an inbred state
    flower) in many fields throughout the area.

    Green grass and low tides forever in this former inland sea.

    Maybe you're too young to recognize lyrics like "Green grass and high tides forever"? It was a great
    reference (to a great song), and I wished I'd made comment on it before sending off my reply.

    Heh, heh, the Outlaws. We used to play that song in my band when I was in my late 20's, and that was
    10+ years ago! So yes I'm "too young" (still) but not "that" young... 🙂

    Travis, for some odd reason whenever I see one of your responses like this I can't help but think of
    that "Special Ed" character on the show "Crank Yankers".

    Even after listening to some good music on the way to the trailhead, I had "Purple Haze" on the
    brain through most of the ride last night because of this thread.

    ...anyone ever noticed how that one line sounds a lot like, "'scuze me while I kiss dis guy"?

    Nope. Is there something you want to tell Dr Freud, Blaine?

    It's a classically referenced misheard lyric, a bit like 'My ears are alight' and [censored]....

    Intwerp? 1039's ... they're like potato chips.

    It's called Scorpion Weed.

    Phacelia? Could be ... five petals ... stamens look right. It doesn't quite look like Phacelia
    crenulata ... could be the picture or it might be a sub-species. Can you ask the 1039 the next time
    you see her? (If there is a next time).
