RHH's photos with the keyword: rydbergii

This is Rydberg's Penstemon, Penstemon rydbergii, photographed along the Castle Creek Road in the Colorado Rockies. Two of my brothers and I spent an afternoon exploring that area when in Colorado for a hiking trip last summer.

We saw quite a few wildflowers at Lava Lands in Oregon including this Penstemon which I've identified as Rydberg's Penstemon, photographed on our hike up Lava Butte, an old cinder cone.

These were photographed at Palouse Falls State Park and are the berries of the Western Poison Ivy. It is as toxic as the eastern variety but grows as a shrub rather than a vine and is not as common. We did not know what this was when we photographed it but were happy we did not get too close when we did find out what it was.
