We will be talking about #penstemon evolutionary genetics at #evol2023! Poster by Hoyt Williams on thursday, talks by Ben Stone, @lcwheeler, and Zack Radford on friday, and a talk by me on sunday! Looking forward to seeing everyone in abq!!!
I'm giving a talk at #Evol2023 on hybridization and parallel evolution of floral phenotypes in #Penstemon section #Habroanthus. This is new work with Dr. Carrie Wessinger (@carriewessi ) and it's the first time I've talked about it at a conference. Hope to see you there! June 23, 2023. 12:15 PM Galisteo/110.

Penstemon is a native perennial that thrives in the right location and sometimes moves itself there season by season! The flowers are nototribic meaning they deposit their pollen on the backs of their visitors. If you peer into a bloom you can seek the anthers at the top of the open space. #colorado #NativeFlowers #Druidry #Penstemon #gardening

Awesome field trip last week with members of the Wessinger lab to collect samples for a project on hybridization and introgression in Penstemon. The high deserts on the edge of the Mojave and the Great Basin are an amazing place to visit. #Penstemon #FieldWork #Hybridization #Evolution #Phenotype

Good morning! Today’s backyard viewing includes native penstemon with a bit of partridge feather on the side just getting started, and red poppies.

Wildflowers are starting to bloom around the yard.

Penstemon halli flowering on Guanella Pass, CO. I love the growth form of this #Colorado #Endemic. Low growing, small leaves, but large flowers. Grows at high elevation, 10,000 to 14,000 feet above sea level. #Plants #Botany #Penstemon #Photography #Biology

It's time for our annual plea on behalf of #Penstemons. Please, please, please don't cut them down, leave them standing tall until the last spring frosts have passed and then and only then cut them back hard.

Found these #Penstemon waiting out the Winter at 10,000 ft above sea level this weekend.
