Anyway.) Whitney wants Heather to share all of these explanations with Jen, but Heather, like every other cast member apparently, is scared. (By now, both Whitney and Heather seem to have forgotten Jen’s not-so-subtle hints about Meredith’s marriage trouble, which I still think is way nastier. She wonders why Jen is “so thirsty for their love,” and suspects that Jen is trying to protect her spot on the social ladder. Heather thinks there was no way to avoid a “blowup,” and she’s mostly miffed that Jen still appears loyal to Meredith and Lisa.

In Heather’s defense, Whitney was talking in drunken circles, and without her cousin’s intervention, Whitney would still be at Top Golf as we speak, restarting her explanation for the 500th time with “call me Ishmael.” Both women know that their quest to restore honesty and defeat the mean girls or whatever was not successful, but they disagree on the actual problem. (Hmm.) Whitney is still bothered that Heather jumped in and bluntly told Jen about Meredith and Lisa. Toggling between mortified, pissed off and confused, both women agree that Whitney did nothing wrong.

Over at Beauty Lab, Whitney and Heather are also second-guessing their behavior at the Top Golf Massacre. Sharrieff clearly feels the same way, because he isn’t speaking to Jen. A visibly upset Jen regrets that Sharrieff’s party went so dramatically off the rails. In her cold, lonely chalet, nobody is giving Jen roses while making clumsy metaphors.

texting every overpriced restaurant in Park City while aggressively hanging her rise-and-grind wall decor, is absolutely sick with rage. Somewhere in Draper, Lisa, who has been up since 5 a.m. This is gross! Straight people are gross! Brooks Marks is not pleased and neither am I! Also of note: Meredith is still in bed with a sleep mask on at 10 a.m. “I want you to look at that when I leave to remind you that we’ve fully blossomed,” Seth says. Just to ensure everyone understands that Meredith and Seth are DOING GREAT ACTUALLY, the episode begins with Seth doting on his wife with a mug of coffee and a single, sad-ass rose. After a whole season’s worth of gossip exploded all at once during Sharrieff’s party last week, the Housewives have a lot of relationships to mend and hangovers to cure. This form is no longer available from Plants of the Southwest but may be found online and sometimes we have the plants at our nursery.Raise a tequila shot (or Diet Coke can) in honor of a new episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. It dies to the ground in fall, but you can leave the stems for the birds to eat the seeds in winter and just cut them down in the spring. These continue to bloom for weeks and are one of the most popular plants in my summer garden, mobbed by many kinds of bees seeking its rich source of pollen and nectar. This form is 5'-7' tall with strong, upright stems that are lined with hundreds of 1" mallow-type flowers, mostly orange and some pink. I started summer-blooming Sphaeralcea incana or fendleri from seed from Plants of the Southwest and it has thrived in my very dry xeriscape for 25 years. The Globemallows come in many sizes and colors. This spring we had massive displays of orange when 8" tall Cowboy’s Delight, Sphaeralcea coccinea, painted our usually gray roadsides. These dryland plants have been important food, medicine and dye plants for Native Americans for thousands of years. The Globemallows are natives of the southwestern US into Colorado. In most years in Colorado it needs no water after establishing, however a woodchip or squeegee mulch or once-a-month watering can provide even more flowers. Desert Four O’clock is too wide to mingle with most other perennials, but is a splendid companion for medium to large, drought-tolerant shrubs. The next spring it will come back late so don’t be in a hurry to fill the space with anything except spring flowering bulbs. It’s an autumn surprise when a hard frost kills the whole mound to the ground and it breaks off like a giant tumbleweed. Large oval seeds fall from papery packets, often making new plants. Even in very dry conditions, the fleshy tap root continues to supply water for flowers all summer into fall. The outer stems lay flat on the ground but do not root, performing a self-mulching function. Rose-purple trumpets cover a mound of thick oval leaves spreading 3'-4' in diameter, 12"-18" high. Desert Four O’clock, Mirabilis multiflora, puts on a floral spectacle just before dinner until just after breakfast.
