The rosettes first appeared on our
property around February 10. |

This picture was taken around February 23. |

It is in alkaline soil, 3% grade, the ground is loose from overwinter heaving. |

It comes out only in the wash east of our juniper trees. |

This and the next photo were taken around March 5. |

March 20 and the flowers are in bloom. |

This flower is TINY. The buds are about the size of a newborn's fingernail. |

As soon as the winter wetness begins to dry up and we get a little heat, these babies
disappear. |
