Small-lobe navarretia

Also known as: Hooked pincushionplant

Small-lobe navarretia is a small, herbaceous plant notable for its hook-shaped bracts, which grant it adeptness in clinging to surrounding vegetation for support. The flowers, ranging from blue to lavender, are eye-catching amid the gray-green, needle-like foliage. Often found in sandy or gravelly soils, small-lobe navarretia's low stature and dense, mat-forming growth enable it to thrive in its arid, often inhospitable native habitats.
