Last month I showed you one of my photographs from Picacho Peak, when my family joined me on an outting, to see the wild flowers. This month I am excited to share a different flower from that same trip. This photograph is of a white tackstem, which is part of the sunflower family, and is native to the southwest and northern Mexico areas. White tackstem isn’t a very large plant they typically grow between 2 to 11 inches. Next year I want to grow some of these in my own garden! I hear that they are great in rock gardens and xeriscapes, and best of all they are a great food source for bees and other pollinators!
