Bristlecone Pines & Sedona Herbal Enemas
Added 2025-09-16 17:31:29 +0000 UTCWe combine two different episodes in one here. The first one takes us to the higher elevations of southwestern Utah in Iron County to check out Cedar Breaks National monument and the bristlecone pines. We see Physaria hitchcockii growing matted as hell on the edge of a steep cliff at 10,000' elevation. Then we expound on how Phlox condensata smells like a jasmine coconut milkshake while getting an up close view of the bark of an ancient bristlecone pine.
The last seven minutes take us to Yavapai County, Arizona where we discuss new age colon cleanses and stem-photosynthesis in Canotia holacantha (Celastraceae).
In between, we catch Fritillaria atropurpurea and Aquilegia coerulea blooming next to a lava flow in Southern Utah.
