Ok, I did have a mission to Fossil Hill if you remember, Tiny Tim. π And we were out about six hours that day.
Quite a few sprouts we had no clue to their identity like this one. However, the stubs of hairs were cute.
There are lots of rocks covered in lichens!
This little one however, we knew was a Euphorbia.
By now you probably figured that we had worn holes in our knees. But I did stand up to get a photo of this new Blackjack buds.
The catkins were hanging like yellow pearls!
Another little plant drew my attention, identity unknown. Never having seen Tiny Tim, I looked at every plant that had the succulent-like leaves like Tiny Tim.
We marked the spot if it had promise. We will go back to this area later.
Pacman! Always watchful for the spiny people.
In action! π We were in the powerline easement. A lot of the easement has tall grasses, but there are a few bare spots.
I hope you take a close look at the ground too for all the tiny cool plants!
Love pac man. And good article about eagles. Thanks
Lots of great tiny stuff growing now!
So true! I liked your Dwarf Verbena
Glandularia pumila you posted on iNat. A cool plant.
It volunteered in the gravel path on the south side of my house. So I weeded around it. π

These little barrens are some of the cooler places to find plants! Amazing to know what manages to eke out a living!
So true!
Knee pads??
Probably would be a good ideaπ
