While driving through the picturesque Owyhee Mountain Front, on July 4th, I took a picture of a gorgeous wild flower that lined the dusty dirt roads. I picked one bloom and was amazed at how soft and different it was. The center was filled with long brush-like filaments, and the long lance-like petals radiated out from the center. However, the leaves were a total surprise. They were pale sage-brush colored, harsh to touch, and tended to curl into the middle vein. What a fantastic flower to find on a gorgeous summer drive.
