“I seem to have caught the yucca at the height of their bloom and the chamisa behind these and other wildflowers in front were going strong.”
“Finally, in November 1940, after the chamisa bushes along the roadside had turned golden and the wild purple asters had bloomed, she tore herself away from her creative, calm existence and returned to New York.”

“The thistles, sorrel and prickly lettuce have set seed in the midvalley; wild asters, sunflowers, and chamisa are blooming, the grasses catch and hold the mellowing sunlight in their tawny seedheads and the color transformation on the north facing slopes has started.”
