Close-up of Nutzotin milkvetch (Astragalus nutzotinensis) growing low among angular grey rocks on a gravel bar. Several small, pea-like flowers in pale pink to soft purple are visible along prostrate reddish stems, with small grey-green compound leaves tucked between the stones. Some flowers are fully open while others remain in bud. The rocky substrate and sprawling growth habit of this mat-forming perennial are clearly visible.
Nutzotin milkvetch (Astragalus nutzotinensis) sprawling across a rocky gravel substrate, with multiple clusters of pale pink to soft lavender pea-like flowers visible at various distances. The foreground shows a single small raceme of two to three flowers resting against a grey rock, while additional flowering stems spread across the mid and background. The small, grey-green pinnately compound leaves of the plant are visible between the rocks, illustrating the mat-forming growth habit of this species in its natural gravelly habitat.

I spent Wednesday lunchtime plant hunting in #Bristol and only found this single Hairy Bittercress plant. I think this is a new one for the fence line around my favourite building site. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
Three white flowers, one fully open, with 4 petals each.
