Fun, weird, helpful, or little known fact
I cannot find this flower ANYWHERE except, potentially, Weber and Wittmann’s Colorado Flora, Western Slope, Third Edition, the single most authoritative treatment of Colorado flowering plants. Because Bill and Ron don’t stoop to photos, or common names, I’m unsure of my ID, and have chosen to name it, in the absence of contrary (or any other) information, "Skinny little ragwort.”
