2877 - AlpenPix (Wild) - 2010-12-30 (Dimension: 2318 x 1762 pixels - Counter: 7585) Penstemon moffatii (Uploaded as: Penstemon ) Locality: USA - Colorado - Rabbit Valley near Rabbit's Ear Trailhead, Mesa County, Colorado, elevation about 4,500 feet, growing in dry, clayey soil (possibly from sandstone). Photographer: Jane Hendrix Note: This Penstemon stands between 4 and 12 inches. Most plants were about 6 to 8 inches tall. The foliage is gray-green; the flowers are medium blue (my camera shifts blues to pinks). Could this be Penstemon breviculus?
