Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This are seed-grown from our collection on Fiddler Mt in the Siskiyous. This was by several orders of magnitude, the most floriferous plant we saw which was fairly bristling with spent flower stems too numerous to count. Lots of small blue toned flowers. Rock garden plant. Good drainage.
