2819 - AlpenPix (Garden) - 2010-12-06 (Dimension: 2318 x 1762 pixels - Counter: 7384) Thlaspi stylosum Locality: Mountain View Experimental Gardens, Peak 7 area, Breckenridge, Colorado, elevation 10,000 feet, USDA Zone 4 Photographer: Jane Hendrix Note: In late May, lilac Thlaspi stylosum flowers smother the plant's tiny foliage and exude a sweet, delightful scent. Like other species in the Mustard Family (Brassicaceae), T. stylosum is easy to germinate and requires no special care, except it doesn't like overly acidic soil.
