Plant Identification

It strikes easily from cuttings. Huge leaves for the genus. I do know what it is. Do you?

Salvia caespitosa species or not?
This is a mystery plant that I can't find using only Google.
Grown from seed in 2010 it grew into a 30 cm multistem shrub and bloomed quite differently than the photo of Salvia caespitosa in NARGS Photos. It smells like Salvia and appears to have leaves of Salvia. In the second photo attached there are a few flowers left for identification, hopefully.

Hi All,
I thought I had acquired Iris cristata, but it does not match pics. It is a gorgeous iris as you can see in the photo. It is a dwarf with good sized flowers and bloomed in late spring.

I saw this the other day on an alpine hike, on a scree slope that is somewhat wettish from snow melt running through it.
The leaves ought to make it pretty easy, but I have compared to what I thought were the likely suspects and not yet found a match. It appears to have 5 stamens from what I can tell (rather than the 10 of Saxifraga spp.).
Anyone know what it is?

Hi, all. My first post in this forum. I don't know where this came from and have never seen another around here. I do have a large climbing wild clematis that reseeds every so often. But this is completely prostrate (because nothing to grow on?). Also the leaves are much smaller than the wild one.
Anyone have a clue what it is? I first noticed it last year and haven't seen it bloom yet.

I think there must be a simple anwer to what Penstemon this is. I'm just having no luck in idenifying it. I found it in western Colorado, growing at just over 7,000 ft. It grows along back country roads in small groupings.

Thanks for any help.

I found these eriogonum in Nevada, near Austin, just south of Highway 50. June 20. They ranged in size from 6 to 12 inches in diameter.

Does anyone know what kind of eriogonum they are?

I grew three species of Townsendia from NARGS seed source..all ended up as this mystery Erigeron! Is it E. leiomeris?

But what is it? Seems to me like some sort of Cephalaria perhaps? The flower stalks are about 20" tall; the basal rosette is ~1" tall. The flower stalks have one pair of lanceolate opposite leaves, and there is another pair immediately under the inflorescence. The inflorescence seems to be somewhat sticky (judging from the unfortunate flies that met their fate there). Any ideas? Thanks.

I posted this on the general form but really it belongs here. I got this Cremanthodium as C. delavayi. It took 4 years to bloom and boy what a cluster! Anyone want to attempt to give it a name?
