This beautiful member of the Sunflower Family (Asteraceae) is found at higher elevations and is slender fleabane (Erigeron tener).
The stem is hairy and greenish-gray. The flower heads have many purple or bluish ray flowers.
This clump was growing out of rocks at the bottom of a cliff.
As the flowers age, the ray flowers droop and eventually fall off. For more information about slender fleabane, click here.
