Sidalcea oregana
We are in the midst of a weirdly-epic heat wave here in the Northwest. Today is supposed to get up to 107º, which is not the sort of temperature we are used to seeing around here in late June. Honestly, 107º is unusual for August. I notice that some flowers are thrilled by the heat (the Scarlet gilia is exploding out there), but others, like this Oregon checkermallow, are wilting a bit. This plant has been very successful here, though. I bought a couple of small plants in 2014, as well as some seed, and they've seemed very happy here. But today?--not so much.
