Those are buffalo gourds....stink to high heaven when you break em open
Cut a plug, pour in about a quart or more vodka, shake it a bit. U R good to go. (?)
Gourds are neat. A person can do so much with them. In Ohio there are big gourd festivals. As for me, I am going to practice Shavasano Yoga again tonight. :-)
looks like Dennis nailed the ID of Cucurbita foetidissima
turns out they were proto-dixie cups… ;-)
fetid wild pumpkin (among many names)
forgot to mention - the real surprise is under the surface, some serious root action -
powerful laxative, good to know
Did you see the snake?
there's a checkpoint on 118?
now Im looking for a snake!
Yes, Rita, there is a serious checkpoint (although some people might not think so) on 118. And it is not a good idea to get out of your vehicle at night and walk around rattling the guards in the building by looking for a garbage can (there is none for security reasons) because the good guard dog will bark loudly outside somewhere and scare you. It is not like the old
days coming out of Laredo when the handsome lone cowboy border guard would stand out in the two-lane path and flag you
down and you could joke with him. Times change.
hmmm.. checked it out..edible seeds and flowers...good to know when you run out of beanie weenies out there in the middle of the desert..seen any lophophora
williamsii growing around the hood ? Floppy has got that look on his face, he knows...
OMG...C.T. Dunn, I do see the snake!
