damn maan, havent you ever watched a western? it is a type of bush that grows out all big, when it gets full of seeds it dries up and the wind rolls it dozens of miles and it drops seeds out the whole way |
The largest tumbleweed ever recorded was 38 feet in diameter. The giant Russian thistle grew on the east bank of the Colorado River near Ehrenberg in the spring of 1963. By the time spring winds had tumbled the giant ball to Wikieup, 92 miles northwest of Ehrenberg, it had worn down to 19 feet in diameter. An enterprising businessman hollowed it, plastered it, painted it orange, and turned it into a juice stand alongside U.S. Highway 93. http://www.wickenburg-az.com/?p=47 http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VO32IVIpnmk/R2...s/PIC_0158.JPG |
