Selago canescens large panicle

A well-developed Selago canescens panicle comprises many short racemes or spikes ascending from the central axis, the flowering stem. The upper groupings are still buds in pictures, resembling small bunches of purple grapes, not pendulous, defying gravity. Lower down the flowers are opening, starting from the raceme bases (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Privett and Lutzeyer, 2010; iNaturalist).
