Shrubby Penstamon

This low-growing flower is common across western North America and perhaps most visible in drier rocky areas. I remember my first hikes up Knox Mountain in the semi-arid Okanagan Valley and seeing these flowers growing so profusely along the side of the road cut. The flowers behind this painting were from a hiking trip into the alpine areas of Idaho Peak in the Kootenay Region of British Columbia.
