The Springtime Blues
I suffer the springtime blues. Even here, in southern California, where palm trees sway and surfers wax their boards, I cannot escape the springtime blues. But these blues aren’t blown through a harmonica, twanged on a guitar or sobbed at an indifferent bartender. These blues attract bees, smell of sweet perfume and burst from the soil. These blues are spring wildflowers...

Indian Cucumber Root and Edible Lilies
I was going to write something about Indian Cucumber Root because it blooms now, is kind of unusual looking, and is scarce. I knew it was edible, so I began doing some investigating in that area and what do I find (he asked rhetorically)? It is only one of many lilies that have edible parts (and no, they don’t taste like chicken).

Last week I wrote, “I was going to write something about Indian Cucumber Root. I knew it was edible, so I began doing some investigating in that area and what do I find? It is only one of many lilies that have edible parts (and no, they don't taste like chicken).” So what about some of those other lilies fit for a salad bar?

The Wildflowers of Northern Exposure
Spring was unfolding its blossoms in the northern U.S., and we were getting to see it. But then we got to the high desert of Washington and our spirits began to lose altitude. It was hot and dusty and void of much in the way of wildflowers. Then a strange thing happened: the interstate dropped down from the desert into the Columbia River Valley.
