These wildflowers near Lake City, CO won’t last long — but they make the most of every moment.

Follow for more color in wild places, and share if you’ve ever stopped on trail just to admire something small.

At #Nairn Falls, #Pemberton, British Columbia, Canada. It is a sacred place to the Líl'wat nation #lilwat. This community was growing by the side of the falls, in the spray, on basalt talus. To the best of my ability - #Cryptogramma acrostichoides (parsley fern), #Micranthes ferruginea (russet saxifrage), #Penstemon fruticosus (shrubby penstemon), #Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (kinnikinnick or bearberry), #mosses.

I have this penstemon I got from a British seed source. It was supposed to be P. deustus, but it isn't. I don't have a dissecting scope, so keying it out via Eflora is not working for me. I am hoping someone will look at this and say "oh! It's xxx".
Later: Well, it looks like a cultivar of P. hirsutus, which apparently can be white. The flowers aren't as open as the photos show, but are very similar otherwise.

Good morning. Still isolating, so finding wonders all around the front perennial beds. #BloomScrolling #Penstemon

We’ve had a few Desert Blue Bells blooming this Spring in our Tucson, AZ, USA yard. I love their intense saturated blue-purple color! Our pink Penstemon (that I painted last year in my Perpetual Journal) have also been blooming for over 5 weeks now!

Hybridizing #species are usually maintained by genome-wide selection against #introgression or by selection on a few “genomic islands.” @yanivbrandvain & Shelley Sianta explore #PLOSBiology study which finds a new pattern – 60 SNPs across the #genome differentiate #Penstemon species with different #pollinators.
