Long-stalked Orache,
Göteborg, September 21st, 2002



Atriplex longipes ssp. longipes
Skaftmålla i november

Eva Ekeblad, 2002

In the original Goosefoot Paradise
left more in peace this summer, and going to grass
an Orache, trying hard to get a job as Honeysuckle
caught my eye and made me puzzle...

As many times before,
Erik Ljungstrand provided an important piece
towards a solution
focussing my looking, reading and re-collection.
And as Oraches are tricky beasts
this may still turn out to be
- for example -
a Spear-leaved one
with a sick and twisted
sense of humour.

I do think those pedicels look good, though.
