Mountain Hollyhock These showy flowers created people jams on the Fox Creek Loop north of Ketchum last year as hikers and mountain bikers flocked to see fields of wild hollyhock blooming amidst the charcoal skeletons of trees burnt in the 2007 Castle Rock Fire. Large amounts could also be seen on the Lodgepole Trail in Greenhorn Gulch. The mountain hollyhock belongs to the mallow family. The term “mallow” defines their soft, fuzzy leaves. They bloom in shades of pink and lavender on spike-like stems three to five feet tall. They’re commonly found along stream banks or in burned areas because the seeds, which can remain dormant for more than a century, require some scouring action, such as running water or heat from a fire in order to germinate. The Indians chewed the stems like gum. The flowers also provide a nice buffet for elk and deer as burnt areas regen- erate.

Bluegills a good fish for beginners to catch, but proper technique, equipment still needed By Ray Sasser Dallas Morning News
DALLAS — Rick Pope calls bluegills the most important fish that swim. The Dallas-based founder of Temple Fork Outfitters, a fishing rod company, has caught huge trout, surface dancing dorado and even a white marlin on fly rods. He considers bluegills and their various relatives as gateway species to the watery wonderland of sport fish- ing. “Bluegills have been the species responsible for intro- ducing more folks to fishing — whether its fly fishing or conventional fishing, than any fish I know,” said Pope, AP photos himself an early convert.
