Composite Family Navajo name -Nííiiniłtsóóz Translation = slender snuff Mexican Hat, UT October 10, 2005 We stopped along a side road near the Mexican Hat rock formation to eat what was either a very late lunch or an early supper out of our styrofoam cooler. I couldn't wait to scarf down my sandwich so I could walk down the wash (dry creek bed) to check out the flowers. Sometimes I'd rather look at the local flora than eat!
Rose Family Navajo name - Awééts'áál Translation = baby cradle Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah October 4, 2005 These flowers were on their last blooms of the season when I found them. I liked the long, fluffy seeds (following photo).
