A tall spike of blue, tubular flowers with five short upturned petals at the end stands above a patch of ovate dentate opposite bright green leaves ( try saying that without stumbling!) There are a few more spikes in the background. In about a week, this will be in full bloom, and the bumblebees will be delighted. I have seen bumblebees rip penstemon flowers open to get at the nectar. It must be choice stuff.

Another favorite flower! Cascade penstemons (P. serrulatus) are growing in the Maple Leaf Park restoration area.
