 This and the next two pictures (taken in early February) are of an established plant and this is second year growth. |
 It grows, from what I can tell, all over the area in our box canyon. |
 Found on my property. In fact, it grows all over Worden. |
 This and the next three photos are the same plant as shown in the previous three. |
 Photos March 20. |

 I busted the stalk of the skeleton open to see if it might make good fiber. The overwintered plant appears woody, but might be a good candidate. |
I think the summer stalk, after bolting but before and, maybe, during flowering, may also be a good paper candidate. |
