In time
there is no opprobrium
lest there be no one for whom,
in their quailed concern,
peering not unlike stones,
gemstones pure of insight - bringing
penstemon to character sublime!
can there be a final analysis?

Penstemon hartwegii x hybrida (Beardtongue, var: “Phoenix Pink”)
Little Miss Sunshine
Penstemons are an exclusively North American wildflower genus containing about 250 species. Although described by Linnaeus in 1753, the first seeds weren’t sold in Europe until 1831 and the first cultivars arrived in 1836. By the end of the century, many more species had been described and today there are over 170 cultivars available.
Although usually thought of as an August/September bloom, this particular penstemon is still going strong in early December. My local Seniors’ Recreation Center was closed down about six months ago (Covid 19) but this lovely specimen was found growing next to the empty parking lot.
