Arkansas has five natural physiogeographic regions: the Ozark Mountains, the Ouachita Mountains, the Mississippi Alluvial Plain, the Arkansas River Valley, and the West Gulf Coastal Plain. I used a computer translation for this paragraph, so I don't recognize many of these Chinese characters but I use them often and am slowly learning them.
Now I'm typing in pinyin to write Chinese. I live in the Ozark Mountain region. The Ozark Mountains aren't very high, mostly less than 1000 meters (3000 feet); they're an eroded plateau. Where I live, the land is mostly from 100 to 700 meters in elevation. Today, I drove 72 miles (116 kilometers) mostly to relax and see some area I had visited before and a house where I lived from 1963 to 1965; the house was gone and had been replaced. I wanted to see the mountains and rivers and observe some plants. I often upload photos to

Today, I saw a rare plant in Arkansas, Purple Penstemon ([i]Penstemon cobaea[/i]; https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/142655-Penstemon-cobaea) in five locations. This plant was once considered rare in Arkansas, but is now known from 137 observations (some at the same site on different dates). I made 37 of those observations!
