I took this in the Spring of 2008 while driving down Highway 18 and it has taken me until now to identify what flower it is. How embarrassing! Well, maybe not so much, because I have thousands of photos in hundreds of folders and I just plain forgot about it.
Oh right, the name. It's Prickly Phlox. I almost forgot - again.
Now that's embarrassing.
What a pretty plant. I've never heard of it. It looks like it grows on rocks.
ReplyDeleteYes, OC, it grows out of the rocks of the cliffs that were formed when Highway 18 was built. It is a tough little plant!
