Today, I am posting two
photographs of a draba tuft growing near my house. Draba are often found in conjunction with
phlox. Both of these early bloomers are
found in open—often rocky—sites. They
are not opposed poor soil or lack of consistent rain.
Singular tufts of draba
are easy to miss if you are in hurry. You
may whisk past these tiny collections of flowers if focused only on where you
are going. The flowers are only about ¼
inch in size when fully opened. They
also grow inconspicuously; the entire plant rising little more than an inch or
two above the ground.
I am sharing a close-up
of the draba and a shot of the tuft from a few inches away.

They are small but pretty.
