Well preserved, a 'bouquet' of sagebrush reminds me of my Rocky Mountain family and friends. Its three-lobed leaves and rather significant fragrance heavily populates the great high plains. Grazed by the pronghorn, it is incredibly hardy in the arid climes. Though I don't use it as the Native Americans did in their ritual cleansings, a certain healing power prevails! Naples, FL
