Title: Is this Penstemon grinnellii v. scrophularioides?
Post by: Claire Cockcroft on September 05, 2019, 12:25:49 AM

Ron Ratko gave me several seed pots of penstemons that I planted out.  One started flowering this week with tiny, yellow-gold flowers.  It's definitely a "beardtongue".  I'm just not sure of the species. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks to a sharp-eyed friend, I now have the proper identification.  It is Keckiella lemmonii.  (Thank you, Christine Ebrahimi.)
