POTD: Planting Mayhem

Planting Mayhem
Death Valley Junction, California
2024

Who knew I could add interesting words to my vocabulary just by looking at graffiti.

Ruderal: a species, especially a plant, that colonizes or thrives in disturbed areas (noun); colonizing or thriving in areas that have been disturbed, as by fire or cultivation (adjective). Especially when paired with mayhem, it’s perhaps a metaphorically good term describing what’s to come in to this election season.
