Today Uncle Bobby was buried. It was also the 20th anniversary of my brother Weldon's death. I don't have any pictures of Weldon on my computer so I am showing you one of his favorite wildflowers. Rattlesnake Master, Eryngium yuccifolium.
I'm not sure why it was his favorite but I have made sure I had one growing in my garden ever since he died as my own memorial to him. Rattlesnake Master is a funny little plant that is related to the carrot. It got it's name because the pioneers thought the roots were an antidote to rattlesnake bite. That belief was erroneous. Bummer for the person that made that discovery.I suspect Weldon and Uncle Bobby are up to something right now in Heaven.
