This high elevation Utah native thistle (Cirsium eatonii var. eatonii) will continue to produce occasional blooms into early fall when most other plants at a similar elevation are long past flowering.This species might be confused with the noxious C. arvense which is not native to North America, and while both are prickly, they are otherwise quite dissimilar, and unlike C. arvense, this thistle behaves itself. You do not however want to step on or come into contact with either!Sept. 23, 2015, Brighton area, Big Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake County, Utah, elev. approx. 9,000 ft. (2740 m). Occasional plants also observed in flower on Sept. 28, 2016 in this same area.

This was my first encounter with Mirabilis multiflora var. multiflora growing in partial shade under a Utah Juniper (I refuse however to call this plant "Colorado Four O'Clock which is another common name for the species!). It is so green and lush and has such big leaves that in a desert environment, seeing this is somewhat surreal. But this is its home. And in fact in growing this much later from a purchased native nursery stock in northern Utah, which is not its home, the plant grew so aggressively and took over so much of my limited native garden space that I was sadly forced to remove it. There is some controversy about varietal and even species recognition within this complex; the acute involucral bracts combined with location suggest that this is var. multiflora (a second variety also occurs in this general region of the state). At least some varietal recognition seems to me to be perhaps appropriate.Scanned from a slide in 2014.June 14, 1984, vicinity of Windwhistle campground, Canyon Rims Recreation Area, San Juan County, Utah, at about 6,040 ft elev.

Astragalus australis ssp. australis (L.) Lam., syn.: Astragalus oroboides Indian milkvetch, DE.: Sdlicher Tragant, Sdlicher StragelSlo.: juni grahovecDat.: July 02. 2014Lat.: 46.43495 Long.: 13.64256Code: Bot_807/2014_DSC1390 Habitat: Alpine grassland, steep and narrow south oriented mountain ridge, calcareous ground with some silicate, acid ground, dry place, full sun, exposed to strong winds and direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 0-2 deg C, elevation 2.000 m (6.550 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Mt. Mangart flats, north of mountain pass between Mt. Mangart and Mt. Mali vrh, next to the sheep trail leading to grassland above Rdea skala place, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comment: Astragalus australis ssp. australis is known from only three places in Slovenia: from Mt. Mangart, from Mt. Rdei rob and from a single place in Karavanke Mountains. On the other side it is widespread and native to almost the whole Alps and much of the Northern Hemisphere, including northern North America and Asia. However in Slovenia and also in neighboring Austria it is protected and enlisted in the Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by "R" representing a rare species.Its determination is relatively easy. It can be distinguished from several other similar species of genus Astragalus and Oxytropis in Slovenia with certainty by two small details of its flowers. The side wings of Astragalus australis ssp. australis are lobed and the keel has no sharp point at the end, what distinguish genus Astragalus from genus Oxytropis. On Mangart Mountain it is growing solitary but many plants were scattered in the broader vicinity. Ref.:(1) D. Aeschimann, K. Lauber, D.M. Moser, J.P.
