Utah Oxytropis?

[McDonough]

This is all very interesting.  John, I thought that Oxytropis borealis had pinnately compound leaves, the subject plant has simple leaves as far as I can tell. I find this whole lot, Astagalus and Oxytropis bewildering.

I think the conversation is getting mixed up between "the plant in question" (Jane's) and the plant in the photo added by John to show flower characteristics of Oxytropis?

Got it, was following the thread close enough.  Thanks.

Just to add to the topic.  This is a picture of Astragalus spatulatus - a white form - which has been living quite happily in a trough in my garden.  It has been blooming reliably every year for many years.  The very definition of a great astragalus, coming from the west and settling happily in the northeast!

What happened to the picture?  I'll try again.

A beautiful specimen, Anne.

Thanks so much, Rick.  The computer and I have such an uneasy relationship!

I've never come across a white flowered individual before very nice!

And sooo long-lasting.  I think if you look long enough you will find a white form of almost any plant.  I've seen a white form
of Oxytropis podocarpa above Boreas Pass years ago.  May I just use this space to say how much I'm enjoying your articles in the Quarterly.  I hope there will be more.
