scoot



My rock-climber partner calls the pika the "cutest animal in the world." It is cute. It is round. It has a charming face. It is small. Scutellaria resinosa is like the pika of the plant world. I'm not sure if it is the "cutest plant in the world," but it is awfully charming. It stands about six inches tall, has a perfect domelike form, rabbits don't touch it, and the flowers are like violet (almost as good as blue) snapdragons. Coming from the great plains, this plant needs little if any summer water and still blooms until fall.
