Wildflower from the steppe areas of the western United States. The photosabove are evidence of my very first success at keeping an eriogonum seedling alive through two full seasons – just one small plant has managed to survive in the rock garden. Given how many I've managed to kill through the years, I consider that a grand accomplishment!
