not all plants love the summer heat. The Canna and Calla Lilies can take the heat, but need lots of water.
In the Delta these flowers grow along the irrigation ditches, here they do better in the shade. We have enough water, but I watch the consumption- it is a precious commodity.

Canna und Call Lilien wachsen im Schatten eines Olivenbaumes. Im Delta pflanzt man diese Blumen an den Bewässerungskanälen. Da wir nicht unbeschränkte Wasser haben pflanzte ich diese Blumen im Schatten wo es ihnen auch gefällt.

Water is a scarce commodity in the arid west and has always been the lifeblood of the region. Most of this area gets less than ten inches of rain and snow yearly and Shell Creek stands out as a “green ribbon of life”. Plants and animals thrive in these riparian areas that provide plenty of food and shelter right next to water – the basics for survival. Residents in the area depend on this mountain water for sustenance and livelihood. Wherever streams and rivers flow, you will find the pathways of early exploration and travel, the magnets for human settlemant. Archaeologists discovered evidence that prehistoric cultres hunted and camped in this region 10,000 years ago. Peoples of the Shoshone, Sioux, Crow and Cheyenne tribes all lived here at one time, drawn by the rich bounty of plants and wildlife in Shell Canyon.
Prehistoric hunter gatherer cultures used the Big Horn Mountain Region for at least 10,000 years. Early people ere dran to riparian areas of Shell Canyon for food. Riparian areas are the vegetation zones next to streams influenced by higher underground water tables. Water makes these areas most productive environments. Diverse plant communities thrive here in turn attracting abundant wildlife. The route along Shell Creek provided easy access into the mountains and the spectacular beauty of Shell Falls helped fulfill the spiritua needs of native peoples. The green corridor along Shell Creek nourished early inhabitants – body and soul.
The new settlers realized there would not be enough water to irrigate all the fertile land in Shell Valle, and therefore adopted the Appropriation System of water rights. The system recognizes the first ones to establish water rights hold preference over those that follow, until all the water is used. Ealy ater rights are still valid today.
