User's notes

Sharply upward bent arms, narrow leaf I believe make this T pauciflora rather than T peniculata, though both were abundant at this site.

Thanks for the photos of the leaf and the flower viewed side-on. It is tremendously helpful for us moderators when attempting an ID.

@MattM no worries! I didn't know this, last season, but @DerekC came out towards the end of last year, and taught me what to show!
