Arctostaphylos!!

'Just wanted to give props to my coworker Shelley, whose pictures of the Franciscan manzanita made it to the NYT Green Blog three days ago!

Take 9 minutes to watch this video.

And while you're inspired, comment on the US Fish and Wildlife Service's proposal to list the Franciscan manzanita as a federally endangered species. The 60-day public comment period began on September 7.

Here's a pic I took of the Raven's manzanita, also extremely rare and federally endangered, that grows in the Presidio and is also tended to by Shelley.

Raven's manzanita, April 2010.
