ROADSIDE BOUQUETS -- WHERE THE WILDFLOWERS ARE. Two friends. One a botanist. The other a consultant with a flexible schedule and an interest in wildflowers and flower arranging. We collect and preserve specimens of flowering plants. We find them in vacant lots, roadside ditches, culverts, swamps, woods, hillsides and fields. Along the way we explore the small towns of America. And arrange some flowers to brighten the truck interior or leave behind to say thanks.

Mom -- I don't get it
A couple of years ago after my mom passed, I was going through her things and found some Urimates. They are little folded cardboard cones that women can use to pee standing up. My mom was pretty fastidious and used them in Europe when she was faced with those ancient marble holes in the ground they call toilets. I thought hmmm, these will come in handy some day. Well that day was yesterday as we were collecting roadside and nature called. All I can say is I am glad I was wearing quick-dry pants. Mom--how did you do it?

OK, next time. I am getting good at the lean against the truck and squat manoever.
