Stickleaf Family Arches NP October 7, 2005 I had seen a larger relative of this Stickleaf when we were in Colorado a few years ago. I saw these plants early in the day with no flowers, I later learned the flowers bloom late in the afternoon. The Colorado relative has much larger flowers.
Composite Family Salt Lake City, UT Gumweeds have sticky bracts, which give the plants their common name.
Aster Family Capitol Reef NP October 11, 2005 Boy, I'd hate to have to spell the genus name for this plant every day! This plant was blooming very late in the year. I was happy to find it, I had another new flower to add to my life list!
