Hoary Puccoon
(Lithospermum canescens) |
| Hoary puccoon plants always bring thoughts of sunny
ridge-top locales -- often very remote regions. Although I have observed
hoary puccoon in many places, my favorite "hunting grounds" for this plant
are the rappelling ridge at Brush Creek Canyon and on the upper reaches
of the Yellow River Forest.
