Fringed Puccoon Lithospermum incisum
Borage Family (Boraginaceae)

Has small, unopened, self-pollinating flowers, in addition to the showier fringed petaled flowers shown here. Small clusters of sterile frilly blooms appear within the first 2 weeks of spring. Then self-pollinating buds are formed later in spring or early summer. The leaves are slender toward the bloom, and more compact at the base sometimes withered by bloom time.
Here they are growing in rocky caliche soil between a traintrack and Highway 377 and nestled next to patches of Prairie Verbena.
