Oh My Gaia - check out these Azure Bluets (Houstonia caerulea)! #Bluets don't get taller than about 4 inches. They do well in those partial shady spots where grass is sparse and moss is growing, or under trees. Host plant for the Spotted Thyris moth (Thyris maculata) and native to the eastern US

🌱 OK! in this case, scape is not a peduncle!
In this case, SCAPE is short for *landscape*.
#Bloomscrolling is the best!
hey #Bluets 💙?!
I need help learning the word scape cos the hashtag is confusing me!

Hesperaloe parviflora, also known as red yucca, hummingbird yucca, redflower false yucca and samandoque, is a succulent plant in the Asparagaceae family (subfamily Agavoideae) that is native to the Chihuahuan and Coahuilan deserts of Northern Mexico, as well as Central, Southern and Western Texas; today, it is often seen in roadside planting swathes and public areas, or used for corporate or office exterior landscaping. It is also quite popular in collector gardens and among private gardeners who are striving for a more water-wise approach
