Western Coltsfoot, as photographed by Mary Sue Ittner.

This native plant is found in moist seeps, and in shady canyons and forests. Mary Sue Ittner has photographed these plants in a series of three photos. First is the flower in bud.

And here you can see the flower. They kind of look like little, white pompoms.

And here you will see Bob Rutemoeller walking down a shady path lined on either side by Coltsfoot. Looks like a wonderful trail to hike!

Thanks to Mary Sue for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Sunny with high clouds today, and cooler by at least ten degrees.
