Oxytropis-lambertii_Fabaceae_Lambert-Locoweed_101 Petey has  a new wildflower book and likes it so much that he is probably reading it under the covers at night. Oh dear.

I delight in book about plants or animals and the book Extreme Botanizing by Katherine Darrow is a good one for a plant geek like myself.

We have the plant Oxytropis lambertii in the sky islands of southeastern Arizona. Look for it to be blooming in the early summer. It’s beautiful and hard to miss. Now you know.
