This lanky flower is located behind
the Pelican Theaters in dry, arid, alkaline soil. |

First eleven pictures were taken July 2. |

The plant ranged close to 10-12 inches in height. |

The flowers were about an inch long with no distinctive smell. |

The pollen is blue! Very pretty. |

This is a colony of pretty small flowers growing in arid soil and
full sun behind the Pelican Theaters
off Biehn Street. |

I'd say the tallest was no higher than the width across the palm of my hand. The flowers
were the size of the eraser on the end of a wooden pencil. |

Need better pictures - there are male and female plants. |
