One of the plants that grows profusely in the wash behind my house is the mormon tea. It is bushy and green and does not have thorns, an unusual trait for a desert plant. I took a clipping of this plant and drew it in my journal on a page I had earlier painted over with green watercolor paint. It is interesting to find that drawing a portion of a plant that many people consider a weed can develop your appreciation of its beauty.
