Ink & Penstemon
Observations on plants and gardening from the Great Basin steppe in the American West.
I&P has a new look! I hope you like this new tiling format; I wanted it to be easier for you to view and access the blog's content. Newer posts will always appear at the top of the page. Clicking on a post's icon—pencil, link, video, etc.—will expand the comment box and other features for that post. Clicking on a photo icon will give you a better look at photos in smaller posts.
Along the bottom of the page is a navigation bar with links to the blog's archive, RSS feed, post randomizer, and one for those who would just like to ask me a question about anything. If you get mired in something while wandering, clicking on the Penstemon barbatus 'Elfin Pink' will return you the homepage.

FInd me on...
On some garden blogs I follow, I’ve recently observed a lot of photos that look like they were taken in a fog. While wet and foggy weather may be the problem, the smudgy look is most likely due to the fact there is a fingerprint or smudge on the lens. So, if you are looking for a stocking stuffer, consider the above. I bought one recently and am very pleased with it. It’s a simple and inexpensive device for cleaning the lens and you don’t risk scratching the lens inadvertently like you do with tissues or paper. You can order it online, but most camera stores will sell them for around $10. This Christmas, give the gift of a clean camera lens.
