Z is for Zuni Fleabane! If there was
ever a time I experienced Zen it would be while standing at Four Corners, USA.
Imagine 360 degree choices, opportunities for new adventures every way you
turn! Or perhaps it was just a lingering sense of spirits past; still
whispering in the ruins I had just visited at Canyon de Chelly on the Navajo
Nation…but that’s for a future blog- on to the letter Z!
The Navajo Nation
is the largest land area (roughly 27 thousand square miles) retained by a
United States tribe and much of it lies in Arizona. It is here that in the late
80’s scientists discovered the Zuni
Fleabane flourishing nicely in the Chuska Mountains (it was heretofore
thought to exist only in New Mexico). The Zuni Fleabane is listed as a
threatened species.
Also called “Summer Snow” these pretty little
daisies bloom all summer long; enhancing the somewhat rough terrain in which
they grow.

not the wayside flower;
It is the traveler's dower.”

Yay! I did the Blogging A to Z 2015
Challenge 2015! And I bet you did too! I
think I heard a collective sigh of relief. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited
The Wild, Wild Best - I had a blast and I hope you enjoyed. I know I enjoyed every blog I visited and
only wished I could have seen more, but evidently my computer security is on
steroids!
