Hello, from SouthWest Arizona
When I got to Wikipedia (half a Decade ago), the Encyclopedia was still in infancy. After learning some of the styles used (and there are so many types, and variations), I eventually did some plants, the local ones, not yet in Wikipedia. I did Lycium andersonii-(goes towards West Texas) and Krameria grayi, (now Krameria bicolor). I eventually got (back) into the Hardcopy Book I own: (vol 3 of 4): Atlas of United States Trees, Volume 3, Minor Western Hardwoods. and did Salix bonplandiana and Salix taxifolia. (Bonplandia, has a wonderful photo from WikiCommons) !..... as well as some Yuccas. So, I am just saying hello, and I saw your name on my Watchlist for Opuntia basilaris. So, I am just extending a welcome from a fellow who has done some plant articles, (but not focussing on them, or specializing in the page's developments.---(I have MANY interests, including language, Egy. hieroglyphs, cuneiform, Amarna letters, etc., Archaeology, Ancient (preGreekWorldHistory)... An aside, over here in the Lower Colorado River Valley-(the region is partially an indicator species with the Psorothamnus spinosus], which follows some tributary valleys to the Colorado River), there are some distinguished local endemic species, but FEW: they are Hesperocallis undulata, Nolina bigelovii, and the Desert fir-(Peucephyllum schottii). (Some species extend eastwards up the Gila River towards Gila Bend, Phoenix) (I also started the categories: Trees and Category:Flora of Northwestern Mexico)Mmcannis (talk) 13:52, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
