I love that red bark of the wild current. As always, you make a subject that I would find daunting, fascinating and real--such a great post!Tinahttp://www.mygardenersays.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-10147689451195885392016-10-12T18:36:33.498-06:002016-10-12T18:36:33.498-06:00Amy, it would be interesting to hear what you find...Amy, it would be interesting to hear what you find. From what I read in putting the post together, in less vegetated areas one has to be careful in drawing conclusions as to source of erosion ... cows? water runoff? wind? ... that might apply to your territory.Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-25578842780843317372016-10-12T18:33:31.348-06:002016-10-12T18:33:31.348-06:00Thanks, Pat, I always appreciate your comments!

I think it might be easier to see here where it's drier and the plants aren't totally covering up the rocks ;-)Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-70832854552352797832016-10-12T18:29:46.360-06:002016-10-12T18:29:46.360-06:00Thanks, Beth.

I've seen a wide range, from trees in moist gulches in the Black Hills to small shrubs in dry habitat!Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-25737927980030757432016-10-12T13:30:06.161-06:002016-10-12T13:30:06.161-06:00I'm intrigued... and wondering whether I might...I'm intrigued... and wondering whether I might find some pedestaled plants around the neighborhood, which was formerly ranchland.
