Aaachoo!

Chamisa or Gray rabbitbush blooms late summer and early autumn. While allergy suffers are sneezing all over town others are admiring the bright yellow bloom. "The Chamisa (all species) is the oldest known indigenous yellow dye and has been used for the rich yellow color found in Native American blankets. Spanish-Americans mix guaco (a vine-like climbing plant) with the solution for a yellow paint."
