Lambert’s Locoweed
This locoweed deserves its own entry because it is distinctively different than the white version. It’s flower is bright magenta and purple, slightly smaller and narrower. The flower has a narrow tube that opens sharply into several petals: two turned upward and two straight out on a right angle.
