Wow! Does the water contain a lot of sodium?

Have been spend much of this past week watching one of our old cows and her newborn calf. I wanted to make sure the calf was getting enough milk. I did make time to take photos of some McCartney Roses growing nearby. The McCartney Rose, Rosa bracteata, is a plant I like to admire, but in someone else's backyard. It can grow 12 X 12. I multiplies rapidly and becomes a pest. Its beautiful white flowers are identical to those of the Cherokee Rose. The only difference is the number of leaflets on the flowering stems — 7 to 9 for the McCartney Rose and 3 to 5 for the Cherokee Rose.
