Smooth Blue Beardtongue, Penstemon nitidus


On a short walk in North Weaselhead on 10 June 2014, a fellow botany lover and I saw several of these beautiful Smooth Bue Beardtongue flowers, but most were growing on rather dry, crumbly slopes. Especially as I'm taking a half dose of muscle relaxant pills (for my painful shoulders), I was not about to do any risky climbing, so this was the flower I ended up with. Thought I would post it, just in case I don't get to see them again this season. The flowers are such a gorgeous shade of blue. A previously posted macro shot of an individual flower is in a comment box below.
