There are lots of cool facts about rubber rabbitbrush, some of which you can find here.

I have just returned to Ohio - from your virtual backyard!
I wished I had you there to introduce me to the amazing flora of the great Southwest! My head is still spinning from the beauty of the desert!
I love your site, and will be using it as a field guide!
Nice plant. I enjoyed some of your other posts too.
