Foothills. Mancos shale. Spring, summer.
Lone Mesa State Park, May 7, 2009.

Photographs on this page show an Asteraceae, probably a Packera, that Betty and I found at Lone Mesa State Park in the summer of 2008.  We are working with several Asteraceae experts in an attempt to identity this species.  All indications so far are that this is a new species for science.

John Packer is a Canadian botanist.  (More biographical information.)
