Growing Native with Petey Mesquitey: Mala Mujer
If rain ever falls on the the limestone hills above Bisbee, Petey knows just where he will be found. Mala Mujer or Cnidoscolus angustidens is a very far out plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae.The green maple-like leaves are covered in white dots that are actually little mounds, each holding up a stinging hair. Yikes!! Be careful! Oh, what a naughty and yet so beautiful plant. Mala Mujer!
