The grapes of wrath
Grape Hyacinths that is
Muscari leucostomum
Muscari psuedo-muscari
Muscari inconstrictum
A while back I had to give a lecture on erosion control to a bunch of governmental agencies. I found myself doing some research on the history of the topic. Interestingly enough the dust bowl still ranks as the worst manmade ecological disaster of all time. Can you imagine if 80% of Oregon's topsoil was picked up and blown 4 states over? Ya, kinda scary. Poor farming practices and years of drought can do that. Hopefully through education we have better farming practices but we have been in a pretty big drought cycle in middle America for the last few years....just food for thought and nothing at all to do with flower bulbs.
Pouring like a mutha here in the valley right now. On call duty for flooding creeks so gotta stay close to the phone.
Cheers,
Mark
