This entry was posted while I was on vacation, hence the brief written accompaniment. -- Daniel
Commonly named silky phacelia or “sky-pilot”, the specific epithet for this plant (sericea) refers to the soft, dense hairs covering the leaves. Please accept my apologies that this isn't readily apparent in this photograph - next time!

If I look closely at the photo and use my imagination-maybe the leaves are a little like the herb "lamb's ear"?
WOW...this is wonderful. I read a mention of this plant, typed it into Google, and up popped this photo. I'm grateful that you posted it.

Still A wonderful photo, a plant rarely seen by most people. To see it it it's natural habitat is a wonder. It tends to grow in hard to get to places.
