My current job involves doing *zero* research, which is a bummer for me. So....I just do it in my spare time as much as I can. You can't stop me from doing #science! 😆 #FieldWork #Penstemon #Biology
Cascade or coast penstemon (Penstemon serrulatus) is a pretty PNW native loved by bumblebees and hummingbirds.

P. richardsonii (Cut-leaf Beardtongue) in bloom. It's native to the east slope of N. America's Cascade Range. #penstemon #bloomscrolling
The P. strictus in my yard are done blooming, but the Linarioides and Pseudospectabilis are just getting started. Penstemon are my Pokémon. #bloomscrolling #penstemon
