We went to the Green Mountain dog park this morning. Several new bloomers were out. Drummond milkvetch (Astragalus drummondii), Short's milkvetch (Astragalus shortianus), Leafy wildparsley (Musineon divaricatum), and Jim Hill mustard (Sisymbrium altissimum). The Jim Hill mustard is about the same size as, but has much coarser leaflets than the tansy mustard that was featured last week. Drummond milkvetch is an early favorite. It's a hairy plant, and combined with the creamy, white flowers, is easy to field identify.
