I think I me...Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I think I mentioned I have never seen this many P. densiflora's blooming this profusely, ever! It's hard to tell in blogs if something is typical or really unusual. This is really unusual, based on my moderately limited experience in the area. It looks like they cut the manzanitas on the side of a fire road last year, so that may explain the unusual show this spring. And, yes, Jepson is being PC and trying to get people to use less insulting names for plants.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-60031040299083783752011-03-24T14:15:20.010-07:002011-03-24T14:15:20.010-07:00Wow, what a striking plant!

Whilst I've seen Lousewort (Pedicularis sylvatica) in various parts of the UK, it's a low spreading plant with none of the impact of your specimens. And I didn't know the Lousewort family were parasitic, so many thanks, I feel educated and entertained.Imperfect and Tensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348507012722069785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-85523047428672428112011-03-22T03:51:54.650-07:002011-03-22T03:51:54.650-07:00The color!
