Mitton: Unique native wildflower prairie smoke resembles Dr. Seuss’ fictional truffula trees - Boulder Daily Camera

The literature presents prairie smoke as common and widespread, native to all of the western states north to the Yukon Territory, plus to the northern states in the Great Plains, with isolated populations in Michigan and New York. I am a little puzzled that I did not notice these until this summer. Within this wide geographic range, prairie smoke grows in prairie, montane, subalpine and tundra environments, though it seems restricted to montane and subalpine environments in Colorado. It is a long-lived perennial that spreads by rhizomes. While prairie smoke’s flower form, specifically the feathery plumes, is unusual, it is not unique. Three other species produce feathery plumes to loft their seeds, and all three are woody shrubs that grow from 5-9 feet tall. All four species are native to at least the four-corner states, and all four are in the rose family. But none of the others has the pendant urns produced by prairie smoke. Alder-leaf mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus montanus) bears trumpet-style red flowers that flare at the end, with protruding golden stamens and a long, thin style. Both Apache plume (fallugia paradoxa) and cliffrose (Purshia stansburiana) have the simple rose cup of white petals. So, while all four species disperse seeds from flowers that resemble Seuss’ truffula trees, none of the other species could be confused with prairie smoke.

One of the victims of fatal Black Friday crash was 16-year-old Anthony Martin, family says - TCPalm

Street, approaching Midway Road, state troopers said. Tanner Ray Dashner, 21, of Fort Pierce, drove a 2004 GMC Yukon, approaching the two other vehicles at the busy intersection. He was going much faster than the other two vehicles, according to FHP. The SUV slammed into a 2002 Dodge Dakota, leading the pickup to crash into the 2003 BMW 325i in front of it. State troopers said the Dakota burst into flames, killing all five people inside. Anthony was in that vehicle, according to his grandmother. "He was out riding with friends," Yearby said. None of the victims had been identified by FHP as of Monday afternoon. Dashner was listed Saturday in critical condition. His condition had not been updated Monday by FHP. The crash remains under investigation. Two occupants of the BMW, which was pushed several hundred feet from the initial impact, escaped relatively unscathed. The driver, Dalton Young, 27, of Port St. Lucie, was not hurt. A passenger, Sarah Anderson, 30, had minor injuries.
