Last Night’s Wild Dinner

August 3, 2013 Erica M. Davis 3 Comments

Roseroot is Edible, Who Knew?

August 11, 2010 Erica M. Davis 1 Comment

What I believe to be rosecrown, or Sedum rhodanthum.

I first noticed roseroot on a high-country hike above Fairplay, Colorado as Gregg and I were scrambling up a rock face, off-trail as usual. The plant is distinctive and attractive—tiny, blood-red flowers atop a fleshy stalk with spirally overlapping (Peterson, 1977) succulent, … [Read more...]
