I almost can’t believe it myself, but it has to be this. We just went and saw Lewisia maguirei in the Quinn Canyon Range YESTERDAY. About 150 air miles from this location in the Spring Mountains. About 50 plants. South and west facing limestone slope near top of small ridge. We looked at the sepals of 20 flowers, 19 had 3 sepals and 1 had 4 sepals. Plants had 2-3 flowers per inflorescence. :)!

I didn’t see the colorful blue nor red tail markings. Pahrump I-160 highway for a segment of about 5-7 miles from the point this observation was made, west, has a fairly significant population of these butterflies. 82 degrees, full cloud cover, zero to light wind.
