The plant is low growing - forms a ground cover of sorts. Will say the little seed burs stick to your shoe laces and pant legs but they aren't prickly so they are easy enough to remove :o)

If you're looking to photograph a Potrillo Skipper that would be the best place to look. I've seen several of them flitting around it.
