Phacelia bipinnatifida

Phacelia bipinnatifida (forest phacelia)

P. bipinnatifida is a truly lovely native wildflower that is blooming locally.  You can recognize it by its blue flowers and compound leaves.  This plant is bee-pollinated and smells rather foul if crushed.  This species is relatively uncommon in our area, so keep your eyes peeled for it!
