Ya Tah' Hey, purpleblockhead,
Can you send a photo of it? I can't find it under plant files. Is there a common name for it? I have many native plants, used for ceremonies, but don't know their latin names. Sigh.
LMK, if I can help, or if your can send a photo.
Will your Grandfather's grow back? I sure hope so. I know how I felt when someone weed whacked a white sage plant I'd gotten started from seed. I wanted to weed whack them!
Hoping I can help, or one of our NAI friends can.
Have you talked to Pedericks'Corner? She is up your way, and may be able to help. She is also NAI, and is way more knowledgeable than me. She is a member of DG, and usually hangs out on the Fuchsia Forum. DMail her. Tell her I said, "Chukma", and ask her. She'll help you if she can. She's good people! : - )
Tell your Grandfather, I pay my respects and hope we can help him gather his "medicine".
Walk In Beauty!
