Fun, weird, helpful, or little known fact
This tiny pink trumpet is one of a handful of annuals found on the Pass, this one particularly high compared to its common, earlier-summer montane locale. The Phlox family, which includes sky pilot, scarlet gilia, and dwarf phlox, among others, is without doubt one of our most delightful, and diverse, families of wildflowers.
