First To Bloom!

What a difference a week makes! Or even a couple days! The first Margarita BOP Penstemon bloomed today in the front planters (Area 1)! Even just last Saturday, they were still unopened buds! Most likely the unseasonably warm weather brought on their early debut.

Having never seen one of these in bloom, they look rather exotic, a hypnotic gradient of blue and purple. With 12 of these planted in front of the Library, there's more to come!
