Flowers Overtake Road

Flowers quickly overtake the old roadbed. Here, escaped cultivated radishes are growing, probably a legacy of the vegetable gardens from the old ranches in the area.

According to my scientist/biologist friend Marc, if you pull one up and break the root open, you can smell the radish. However, the nice fat round red bulb has long since evolved away, back to something more like its original form.
