“Foxtails Meaning: Blood of my blood Ptilotus | Inland Australia Tjulpun-tjulpunpa (Pit.) are small shrubs that form spikes of purple flowers covered in dense white hairs. Leaves are covered in closely packed star-shaped hairs that slow the rate of water loss. Traditionally, women used the soft furry flowers to line wooden bowls in which babies could be carried.”

“Das ist Lateinamerika, die Re­ gion der offenen Adern. Von seiner Entdeckung bis in die heutige Zeit wurde alles stets in euro­ päisches oder später in nordamerikanisches Ka­ pital verwandelt und als solches wurde und wird es in den fernen Zentren der Macht angehäuft.

“Maybe I don’t know the names of any of the flowers of Vrangelya, but I know every one here. I know that soon the ground will be covered with white-and- yellow bloodroot. Tiny explosive trout lily. Mounds of green-framed white trillium. Rue anemone in the palest pink. All blooming in the short frame between the thawing of the ground and the leaf-out that will block the sun. It’s what happens in spring when all of Homelands calls out: Look at me. Listen to me. Love me. Make life with me.”
