Wonderful!
I like the name” skullcap” better. And leave it at that.
Is there anyway the author could put more text about the wild flowers he takes photos of?
Thnak you.
If you click the linked scientific name, you’ll go to a page that (usually) has more photos and information. “Skullcap” is a name applied to the entire Scutellaria genus – with over 300 species in the genus, that name covers a lot of territory. For many of us, “Skullcap” is enough; for others, we want to know more specifically which Skullcap.
