More information about this wildlife sculpture bronze plaque below.
When she first saw this spiny, yellow-blossomed plant growing in the middle of
the two-track leading to her family’s log cabin, artist Dawn Senior-Trask
thought it so rare and intriguing that she immediately ran for her sketchbook.
Later, when she found it in a field guide, it surprised her to learn that the
buffalo-bur (Solanum rostratum) is considered a common weed. A native annual, it
grows to two feet high, also a surprise since the individual Dawn found and drew
only reached a height of six inches or so. Though she had never seen it before,
she read that “buffalo-bur is widely distributed in the western US and is common
on disturbed wastelands and prairies.”

The word “wasteland” is often used by tourists who drive across Wyoming’s vast
stretches of sagebrush steppe. Dawn and most Wyoming citizens object to the
term, because it reflects ignorance of the rich variety of native plants and
animals who inhabit these wide open spaces. Dawn says she is reminded of the day
she was working with young Lakota children in an Artist-in-Residence class at a
remote country school on the Rosebud Reservation. Asking a student about his
drawing of a buffalo, Dawn said, “Did you see the buffalo in the Badlands?” The
student gave her a puzzled look and replied, “No. I saw it in the Good Lands.”
The buffalo-bur plant is a member of the Potato Family, which also includes
eggplant, chili and bell peppers, tomato, petunia, tobacco, and the deadly
nightshade.

"I don't like Dawn's
drawings, I worship them and feel great pride and much humility
that my poems struck such searing fire in her creative woodlands. I can
say only 'Bless her!', for sharing in my dreams, and working them into
reality." - Poet Virginia Love Long, author of the book Squaw Winter
