Hubby is going with me because I gave him no choice! He usually goes with me when I go to look at the plants, just in case we get to see a wolf. I really wouldn't mind seeing one! Our property isn't fenced in yet, which is the only thing that really worries me, because we have dogs. One was seen a mile from us, and the pack was seen right in the area that these plants are. So, I don't want to take any chances. I seriously doubt that they would stick around if we were there, but I don't want to find out that I am wrong about that! They killed a neighbors lamb last week, so I guess that has me a little nervous.

OH! I almost forgot! I got a message from Kent, who is the one who approved the pictures that I posted here and then sent them to be added to the database. He was pretty sure that the are Venus Penstemon (Penstemon venustus), instead of Rocky Mountain Penstemon (Penstemon strictus). I can't tell the difference, but did have a few friends look at the pictures that know more about Rocky Mountain Penstemon, and they thought that was correct. It's so hard to tell many of them apart, but I trust that he knows what he's talking about. Either way, they grow here, and that makes me very happy!
