An error in the previous day's entry — the James Penstemon (Penstemon jamesii) is now beginning to bloom. One sole and hardy plant has begun to put out flowers that are as beautiful as one could imagine. And, a mid-afternoon hike up the Forest Park Trail revealed a lone and fragile looking (but, apparently hardy) Northern Rock Jasmine (Androsace septentrionalis) growing in the crook of a limestone boulder.
