Spring has been an important learning experience for us in our Seed Orchard. As you may have noticed, the grasshoppers were plentiful earlier this season and they REALLY liked some of our crops. They ate the Conoclinium greggii and Bebbia juncea to the ground and they severely impacted the seed harvest for Penstemon parryi.
The good news is that now that the grasshoppers are gone, our plants are making a comeback!

The penstemons are in full bloom now. 😍

Merry Christmas from Desert Seed Resource Center!
