Rigid Sage This one was ID confirmed by a nice sign :p - because this wildlife area shares space by a wind farm there is visitor center that has a small "display garden" - It's not really a garden per say - it's the plants that are all around, but some of the more prominent characters have ID signage. Without that, IDing this particular plant probably would have been more difficult, but the presence of Thompson's Paintbrush would have been a tip off, as it is parasitic to this particular sage.
