Our self-seeded Palmer Penstemons are starting to flower. This makes the local insects very happy. One of my favourite Penstemons, I am always pleased to see the tiny seedlings appearing. #FlowersOfMastodon #penstemons #bloomscrolling

A study of #Penstemons with #bee & #hummingbird #pollination syndromes, by @carriewessi @LenaHileman &co, reveals ~20 "species-diagnostic loci" with fixed differences between syndromes, sprinkled throughout the genome in high-recomb regions #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3LGHkD9

The plant in the first photo may not look particularly impressive, but I assure you that it has a story. This is the Western tall penstemon (P. hesperius), which was believed extinct until 2008. Before that, it hadn't been seen since around 1930. P. hesperius likes places that get flooded once in awhile and it gets much bigger than most penstemons -- up to 4 feet tall, if memory serves. (Most penstemons top out at 2 to 3 feet or lower.)

It's time for our annual plea on behalf of #Penstemons. Please, please, please don't cut them down, leave them standing tall until the last spring frosts have passed and then and only then cut them back hard.
