A special beauty

California is very different. It takes a different mindset to appreciate
the special beauty of Utah Penstemon, clinging thistle, foxtail, golden poppy. These  tall wildflowers tolerate the heat, blow in the wind, and add vibrant color contrast to the summer browns and golds of the landscape. 

Anyone that thinks these native flowers and grasses are just weeds is a dope that probably hasn't had their morning coffee.
