Digitalis grandiflora Mill, syn.: Digitals ambigua Murr.Yellow Foxglove, DE: Grobltiger FingerhutSlo.: velecvetni naprstecDat.: July 15. 2008Lat.: 46.26886 Long.: 13.50576Code: Bot_282/2008_DSC1444Habitat: moderately steep mountain slope, south aspect, next to a dirt road, sunny and dry place; calcareous, stony ground, exposed to direct rain; elevation 1.190 m (3.900 feet); average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Above the dirt road along Kobariki Stol ridge, between Planina Boca and Mt. Starijski vrh, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment: Digitalis grandiflora, an Euro-Siberian floral element, is a beautiful plant. Its stately habitus, rich flowering, size and special shape of its flowers make a wonderful appearance in spite of the fact that its flowers are rather pale yellow colored. The plant is sometimes more than 1 m tall. It can be found quite often mostly in montane elevations among other tall herbs of mountain slopes. Digitalis grandiflora is widely distributed all over Slovenia as well as in Europe. It grows in almost all Alpine regions and other European mountains with exception of Pyreneans and Apennines. The plant is very poisonous, however also an old (and dangerous) medical plant.Ref.:(1) M.A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.

Penstemon grahamii grows in soils derived from the Green River formation in dense to loosely scattered white shales (and you can see why they are also referred to as "oil shales" from this picture; there are a number of plant species obligate to this kind of habitat that are sometimes referred to as oil shale endemics).This is the type of surface that companies like Enefit (owned by the country of Estonia), Tomco and Red Leaf Resources want to strip mine in the Uintah Basin.In surveying for a species like this, would you count this as one plant or two? It appears to be two plants perhaps at first glance, with an adult plant (at center) that was one of the few plants we saw that was getting ready to bloom on this date and after walking around in its habitat in several areas (2006 was a very tough year for this species); but a closer look indicates it is probably a single, adult plant.May 27, 2006, Sunday School Canyon, Uintah County, Utah.

This flower from the Plantaginaceae is known as Amazon Blue and as the Brazilian Snapdragon. It does seem to have Brazilian origins but has been planted widely in gardens, in this case in Hawaii.
