Bev, I helped you last year identify the Bear's Foot plant (would love some seeds from it).

I am always happy to try to identify plants for anyone, however I no longer have 10,000 volumes of national botanical reference books at my fingertips. My specialty is wildflowers and native plants of the southwest.

In another life I used to work for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (formerly the National Wildflower Research Center and now a part of the Univeristy of Texas) as a native plant information specialist--the botanist building and maintaining their native plant databases and identifiying flowers from national inquiries. That database can be accessed at http://www.wildflower.org/explore/

There is a fabulous online database called PLANTS maintained by the USDA at http://plants.usda.gov/ that I highly recommend for information.
