The chili pepper, chilli pepper, or more simply just chili, is the fruit of the plants from the genus Capsicum, which are members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Even though chilis may be thought of as a vegetable, their culinary usage is generally as a spice, the part of the plant that is usually harvested is the fruit, and botany considers the plant a berry shrub. The term chili in most of the world refers exclusively to the smaller, hot types of capsicum. The mild larger types are called bell pepper in the United States, simply pepper in Britain, Canada and Ireland, capsicum in India and Australasia, and paprika in many European countries.
_ dog and carrot_ acrylic paint is made by Sofia Youshi ( october 2007). The carrot , is a root vegetable, usually orange, white, or red-white blend in color, with a crisp texture when fresh. The edible part of a carrot is a taproot. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It has been bred for its greatly enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured edible taproot, but is still the same species.
Watermelon , family Cucurbitaceae refers to both fruit and plant of a vine-like herb originally from southern Africa and one of the most common types of melon. This flowering plant produces a special type of fruit known by botanists as a pepo. The watermelon fruit, loosely considered a type of melon, has a smooth exterior rind and a juicy, sweet, usually red or yellow, but sometimes orange, interior flesh. The flesh consists of highly developed placental tissue within the fruit.

“Lanterns of the Lord” The Yucca plant is the official state plant of New Mexico, my home. We refer to the beautiful white blossoms as ‘Lamparas de dios’ due to the bright mass of white flowers that protrude from a center stalk within the plant. The yucca is not only an attractive plant; it is has also been an important resource in past decades as its roots and palm-like leaves provided materials for the making of soap and baskets for those residing in the Southwest. My ancestors made a wonderful, fragrant shampoo from the Yucca. As with most every living thing in the desert, it is armed. The stiff leaves act as a defense against intruders, such is the case with agave plants.
