Howdy all
I was given this plant earlier in the year --name on the label says Oxytropis sps.
I have a suspicion that in better light the flowering stem would be a lot shorter.
An ID would be appreciated .
Thanks.
Cheers Dave.
I hate to give up but I'm drawing a blank on the identity of this plant that I saw along the shores of the Clearwater River in NE Alberta this fall! Does anyone know what it is? It may be something that is adapted to saline conditions, as there were many saline springs along the banks in this area.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Can someone identify the plants in the attached image? This was growing on vertical limestone on the approach to HogBack Mountain, east of Helena, Montana. The plants were upwards of 3 feet across. Amazing cliff-hugging adaptability. No close-up, as I had to use a telephoto to pull in the plants.
Thanks,

It came up in a pot where I'd sowed Gaylussacia dumosa...
Hi . Hoping someone can help with the ID of this Penstemon sp . Pictures taken at 3000ft in the Siskiyou Mountains , Josephine County OR on July 1 . Thanks - Steve
There's a phrase to strike fear in the hearts of an amateur botanist...almost as bad as "Unknown Arnica".
I obtained seeds of Erigeron aureus from this spring's NARGS seed exchange, was was delighted to get good germination. But the plants, which have not bloomed, have rosettes of very large, very hairy leaves, quite unlike the E. aureus that we find in the Rockies. I wonder what I've got!
Will attach photos of E. aureus from a hike this summer to Parker Ridge in Banff Nat. Park, and then the unknown plant.

Was wondering if anyone could help with ID on 3 plants that I collected seed from for the NARGS seed exchange
1- an Anemone sp from the Siskiyou Mountains at about 6000ft close to snowbanks
Could anyone identify the plant shown in the photos at the attached link? Thanks in advance.

A friend visited my garden a few weeks ago and brought a small iris as a gift. The label says Iris ??eustriense. The question marks are unintelligible letters. He told me it had relatively modest flowers, but beyond that, nothing. I've tried google, but so far I've not had any success in identifying what the species might be. Any ideas?
This Saxifraga (or Micranthes) appeared as a "weed" in one of my pots. It is a rather strong grower (from next to nothing to 1' in 2 years), but what is it? The leaves are yellowish but that doesn't seem to bother it.
