spiny inflorescence of needle-leaf navarretia as seen along Kreps Lane in Conboy
National Wildlife Refuge at the southeastern foot of Mt. Adams........July

Due to the sharp tips to the leaves and bracts, this is one species to take
care not to inadvertently place ones hand or knee on while photographing flowers!
