Wildflower
Field notes: Sky Pilot is a beautiful wildflower. The plant
is quite common, but this is the only one we were able to find.
Look for them in high altitude meadows or trails. Sky Pilot can be
grown in the wildflower garden. Your local Garden Center will have
cultivated plants available in the spring.
