Lacey Phacelia

By: Alex Taylor

One plant I came across in my neighborhood was the lacy phacelia, or phacelia tanacetifolia in Latin. The lacy phacelia is a native plant of the Southwestern United states and can now be found in both the Northern and Southern coastal ranges in the US. It can also be found in Europe where it is used as a pollinator attractor and a weed suppressor

This is the picture I took where it has not bloomed.

This is what it looks like when it has bloomed
