Among the blooms

13 09 2023

We don’t have lupine (my favorite wildflowers … among many favorites (!)) on our range, but we do have four o’clock, which are nearly (!) as wonderful. And as everywhere, it’s always a treat to catch a foal among the wildflowers. 🙂

Odin had been visiting his little “cousin,” Bia, and was grazing his way back to mama Shane when I caught him here between two blooming plants. See the grasses with the dark seed “lines” just ahead of him? That’s blue grama. Remember the name as I was taught by a BLM’er years ago: “gramma’s eyelashes.”

😆 “Gramma’s eyelashes.” I love that. And I love Odin…and those spectacular four o’clocks! That is so cool that they’re blooming again – an encore courteousy of the late rain?

Yes, I think they’re blooming again because of that rain a few weeks ago – same as the proliferation of grasses. We just got another toad-gagger yesterday! And all of a sudden, lots of little hippity-hoppers on the road! 🙂 Odin is FULL of personality. 😉

🙂 I always think of that when I see the grama grass coming up.
