As long as we’re on a roll with Blue-Purple flowers, let’s go for Mystery Flower #3.
This was the third interesting flower I found during my short walk from the parking lot in Lamar Valley. My original intent was to see if I could get a shot of the buffalo on the other side of a short rise. I did, but found these on the walk back.
My guess is it is a Phacelia of some kind. A close match in the Audubon book is Purple Fringe. Perhaps the most notable feature is the protruding stamens, giving it a pin cushion appearance.
I’m open to a more specific species. Suggest away!
