I'm not sure which sumac this is (Rhus microphylla?), but it makes these long wands which every year turn color from the bottom to the tips in a long progression of rainbow color. It's hard to photograph either an individual wand or a whole plant, since although the whole plant appears a a little fountain of rainbow wands, the wands are sidely dispersed so that they become insignificant from the distance that whole plant picture would require. It's an example of the eye appreciating more than a camera can. I look forward to seeing this shrub turn color every year, and I call it the Rainbow Rhus.
