Rare new flower species at oasis

We were excited when a birder discovered Dark Star Milkvine (Matelea atrostellata) growing at the oasis. It's quite rare and localized. A lifer for us!



My sister is convalescing from hip replacement surgery, but she managed to get herself into the location to see it.
