I will look up earlier next year. The high water is due to snowmelt in the mountains west of town, and it's going down steadily now. We had quite a bit of flooding this year. I hope there was lots of silt deposited -- for cottonwood seedlings!Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192250381057989170.post-10564472649693509332014-06-09T11:30:47.348-06:002014-06-09T11:30:47.348-06:00I realise it's pretty daft to be moved by the ...I realise it's pretty daft to be moved by the arrangement of male catkins higher than the female ones and that it worked - the pollen floating down on the wind . . . but I was.
