Thanks Machi. It's the first time I have seen this one so it took some time to ID it. I'm going back their tomorrow to do some work so maybe I'll find more. I would like to find some isolated by itself as well. But that is contingent on the forest fires their having not far from there.
Great photo! Love it when multiple species grow together
