- Brown's Peony is closely related to the buttercup family. This plant has large, heavy, bronzed-colored succulent flowers that are three to four inches across and hang from the ends of long stems. Several large divided leaves grow alternately on the stem. The leaflets are covered with a waxy coat. The fleshy finger-like roots have an earthy scent. This is the only peony native to North America. It is found growing in sagebrush steppes.
Tall Sage is the state flower of Nevada and grows up to 7 feet tall. It has broad ecological tolerance and can survive a wide range of environmental conditions. Tall Sagebrush has evolved a number of adaptations designed to increase the efficiency of water absorption and retention under the semi-arid conditions in which it thrives. The plants produce two types of leaves: the primary lobed leaves persist throughout the year whereas the smaller, softer non-lobed leaves appear along the branch tips in early winter and drop off during drought conditions the following summer. This allows more rapid growth during the relatively moist conditions of early spring and enables the plant to conserve resources during the hot, dry summer. Tall sagebrush also has an efficient dual-component root system. Small widely dispersed shallow roots absorb water rapidly before it can evaporate following rainstorms. Its deep roots draw water from reservoirs deep underground.
The leaves of Oregon Grape are a holly-like ground cover and usually have seven to nine leaflets in pairs along a thin, tough stem. They are rough-textured, wavy-margined with prickly edges, and darker green above than below. Some of the evergreen leaves turn red in the autumn. The blossoms are tight yellow clusters and bloom in early spring. Both the stems and roots have a bright yellow pith and very bitter taste due to the presence of the alkaloid berberine. The flowers mature into tart bluish berries with a white “bloom.” Fruit matures in early summer.
Cottonwood is the largest broad-leafed tree in the Northwest and can reach up to one hundred feet tall. The smooth triangular leaves are dark green on top and lighter underneath. The aromatic leaf buds appear in late winter to early spring and contain a reddish-brown resin. During early spring male and female catkins form on separate trees. The female catkins are bright red and hang up to five inches long. After flowering, smooth, green, bead-like capsules form then split into three parts and release seeds with fluffy white hairs. Cottonwoods are associated with water. The unopened buds of Cottonwood are very fragrant and have been used commercially in perfumes and soaps.
