Aster Family Capitol Reef NP October 11, 2005 Boy, I'd hate to have to spell the genus name for this plant every day! This plant was blooming very late in the year. I was happy to find it, I had another new flower to add to my life list!
Composite Family Moab, Utah October 5, 2005 A park ranger at Arches National Park told me about this plant, I would have never figured this one out without his help. According to him, Resinbush is endemic to the Moab area.
Composite Family Navajo Name - K´iiłtsoi Nitsaaígíí Salt Lake City, Utah October 1, 2005 This is one of the most common wildflowers blooming in the western states during the fall, it adds a ribbon of color along the roadsides. I have added the Navajo names, and in some cases the translations, to some of the wildflowers. I will not however, attempt the pronunciations! :) Navajo is an extremely difficult language, it is no wonder they were the "Code Talkers" during World War II!
