Veronica hederifolia (V. hederaefolia is considered a misspelled orthographic variant) is yet another example of a misguidedly planted non-native species which has now escaped from cultivation and is starting to invade local foothills. The flower color is normally a pale blue but appears more pink here due to the setting sun.The flowers only have two stamens which are blue.April 3, 2013, Salt Lake County, Utah, approx. 4,870 ft. elev.
