Question: Which shrub found in Arizona smells like rain?

Answer: Creosote Bush. The desert plant is both poisonous and beneficial. Jackrabbits chew its leaves to sharpen their teeth, and its extracts can heal sores, though they may cause dermatitis. In Mexico, the flower buds are pickled, and sticky deposits on the stems are used as glue or sealant.
