Silky Scorpionweed / Phacelia sericea

When I checked my photostream, I was surprised to find that I don't have a photo of Scorpionweed added. I have only seen this plant maybe two or three times, so it was a treat to see it on July 31st, when a few of us went to Plateau Mountain, way south of Calgary.

The same but different

I love the way tiny Forget-me-not flowers can have a pink centre and a yellow centre on the same little cluster. Not the sharpest photo (gee, I think I've said that before about some of my photos!). Not exactly sure which species of Forget-me-not this is, but I photographed it up on Plateau Mountain, way south of the city, on 31st July. "There are approximately fifty species in the genus, with much variation. Most have small (1 cm diameter or less) flat, 5-lobed blue, pink or white flowers with yellow centers" From Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forget-me-not
