After hiking up to 3 temples and prostrating for our New Year wishes before lunch time, we said goodbye to Haa to move back to Paro and wind our trip--and the year 2012--down. We passed through Chelala at 13,083 feet with a view of Jumolhari, the highest peak of Bhutan. We also made a stop at the base of the Kiligoempa Temple at this prayer wheel which spins from the water pressure but is currently on pause because of the day's icy conditions this high up. Happy New Year to all of you from Bhutan!!!

Introduced, cool-season, annual, erect or ± prostrate herb, 10-20 cm tall. Leaves are narrow-lanceolate to narrow-obovate to spathulate, 1.5–3 cm long, 2–8 mm wide, apex obtuse to acute and mucronate, base slightly stem-clasping, both surfaces white-tomentose. Heads woolly at the base, 1.5–3 mm diam., in axillary clusters forming a leafy panicle, subtended by several ovate to obovate hyaline bracts. Flowers in spring and early summer. Grows in disturbed areas.
Occasional and locally abundant in the Bozeman area, prostrate pigweed like other species in the genus requires sites with high levels of disturbance, such as this site that was recently landscaped. The long attenuate spine-tipped flower bracts that surpass the length of the tepals enclosed distinguish this species from the similar Amaranthus blitoides. This site lies along West Harrison Street on the Montana State University campus, Bozeman.
Introduced, cool-season, annual, erect or ± prostrate herb, 10-20 cm tall. Leaves are narrow-lanceolate to narrow-obovate to spathulate, 1.5–3 cm long, 2–8 mm wide, apex obtuse to acute and mucronate, base slightly stem-clasping, both surfaces white-tomentose. Heads woolly at the base, 1.5–3 mm diam., in axillary clusters forming a leafy panicle, subtended by several ovate to obovate hyaline bracts. Flowers in spring and early summer. Grows in disturbed areas.
Introduced, cool-season, annual, low-growing, hairless legume, with prostrate to ascending stems. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each oblong to ovate and 8-16 mm long. The central leaflet has a distinctly longer stalk than the lateral ones. Flowerheads are dense, rounded clusters (8-15 mm long) of 20-40 yellow, inflated, pea-like flowers. Pods are oblong and 1-2 mm long. Flowering is in spring. A native of Europe, the Mediterranean and West Asia, it is found in pastures, woodlands and roadsides; although more common on roadsides than in grazed pastures. Usually found on coarse-textured low-fertility soils where groundcover is reduced. Generally only found at low densities in pastures. Provides good quality feed, but it is not very productive.

Introduced, cool-season, annual, erect or ± prostrate herb, 10-20 cm tall. Leaves are narrow-lanceolate to narrow-obovate to spathulate, 1.5–3 cm long, 2–8 mm wide, apex obtuse to acute and mucronate, base slightly stem-clasping, both surfaces white-tomentose. Heads woolly at the base, 1.5–3 mm diam., in axillary clusters forming a leafy panicle, subtended by several ovate to obovate hyaline bracts. Flowers in spring and early summer. Grows in disturbed areas.
Native, cool-season to yearlong green, perennial, erect or prostrate, hairy herb to 60 cm tall; more or less woody at the base. Basal leaves are petiolate, soon withering; cauline leaves are wedge-shaped to spathulate, 8–40 mm long, sparsely hairy and sessile; margins toothed towards apex. Heads 6–20 mm diam., solitary or in loose leafy cymes of 2 or 3; involucral bracts scabrous-hairy and with scattered glandular hairs; receptacle conical, without scales. Disc florets are tubular and yellow; ray florets are white, blue or purple and 3–9 mm long. Achenes have a pappus of 2–4 rigid barbed awns, with 2–4 basal scales. Widespread on a wide variety of soil types and situations.
Introduced warm-season perennial prostrate ephemeral or perennial herb. Stems are softly hairy, to 60 cm long and root at the nodes. Leaves are stalked, obovate to circular, 0.5–5 cm long, mostly hairless. Flowerheads are oval, to 15 mm long and 10 mm wide. Bracts are lanceolate and pungent pointed. A native o South America, it is a widespread weed of bare ground and disturbed areas.
Introduced, cool-season, annual, erect or ± prostrate herb, 10-20 cm tall. Leaves are narrow-lanceolate to narrow-obovate to spathulate, 1.5–3 cm long, 2–8 mm wide, apex obtuse to acute and mucronate, base slightly stem-clasping, both surfaces white-tomentose. Heads woolly at the base, 1.5–3 mm diam., in axillary clusters forming a leafy panicle, subtended by several ovate to obovate hyaline bracts. Flowers in spring and early summer. Grows in disturbed areas.
Introduced warm-season perennial tufted, sometimes stoloniferous, C4 grass; stems are erect, geniculate to prostrate, relatively brittle, to 70 cm tall and with a ring of glands below the nodes. Leaf blades are soft and sheaths are hairless or with tubercle-based hairs (i.e. with small wart-like outgrowths at their base); there are rigid 2-4 mm long hairs either side of the ligule. Flowerheads are contacted panicles at first, becoming open panicles at maturity and 8-27 cm long; lower branches are whorled, hairs are only found in the axils of the main stem and the lower ones sometimes have a brown ring of glands below them. Spikelets are 4-5.5 mm long and 1-1.5 mm wide, usually 3-7 flowered, flattened, unawned and with lemmas 1.5-1.8 mm long. Flowers in summer and autumn. A native of Africa, it grows on well-drained gravel to sandy loams in disturbed and overgrazed areas, especially roadsides. Found as far south as Wellington. Thought to have been brought in as a seed contaminant of Eragrostis curvula, it is spreading along roadsides on the north west slopes. Of no importance to livestock as it currently mostly grows on roadsides. Grows in same habitat as Eragrostis curvula and Eragrostis pilosa and often mistaken for these species.

You often see this plant growing through mossy banks of tracks, I liked how prolific the fruiting was on this one. You can't eat the berries as far as I know.

Brambles growing prostrate to the ground at a former school site. Nature reclaiming the old tarmac playground. Heavily frosted with the cold as sharp as the thorns on the bramble.
Notice on prostrate headstones warning "not to attempt to re-erect these memorials without the use (sic) of an approved memorial mason" all for "your own safety". Obviously an orgy of 'anti-vandalism' has been sweeping this Clevedon Church.
