#PhaceliaBrachyloba / #ShortlobePhacelia, because I just realized I had some decent pictures that I hadn’t posted yet. 1-5 are from 2021 & 6-10 are from this spring. These aren’t from the same locations so it’s not an entirely accurate comparison but you can see that I found a much larger field the second year after the #ValleyFire2020 than the first. I remember the first time I saw one I was really surprised at how different they looked from any #phacelia I had ever seen before. They seem to be #firefollowers and I had never gone to see wildflowers after a fire before. #californianativeplants #wildfirestowildflowers #AlpineCA #JamulCA #californiawildflowers #wildflowersofcalifornia #subbloom2022 #subbloom2021 (at Cleveland National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgxsct8uTPL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
