I'm fascinated by the variety of Arizona vegetation as it's so very different from home. A perfect example of this is the Palo Verde, the Arizona state tree. The bark is grass green and smooth, something we never see in South Dakota. Palo verde is Spanish for green pole or green stick and that's exactly what it resembles---a huge umbrella with dainty green leaves. Contrary to popular belief, God did plant more than palm trees in the desert.
