Blooming in Monument Valley Park – All Posts.
I am pleased and surprised to be able to share four new blooming plants this week!
Start at the parking lot where Fontanero Street ends at the park, and start heading west down the hill.
Brickellia grandiflora
Tasselflower
About halfway down the hill, on the north side of the road/path under a white fir, look for some pale yellow flowers that dangle down from their stems. This is the native tasselflower (Brickellia grandiflora). Although it is usually more often found on rocky slopes, canyon sides, or cliffs, I saw this in three different areas of the park. Sometimes the flowers can be a bit more greenish. It can be easy to overlook, so really keep your eyes open for this one.
