Audrey Fields was fortunate to find a beautiful Pink Star Tulip, Calochortus uniflorus. She photographed it so we can enjoy seeing it too.
These rare plants are found in moist meadows. They have very short stems.
Thanks to Audrey for allowing me to share her photo with us here.
It's a cool, cloudy afternoon on the Mendonoma Coast today. We have a storm coming in tomorrow evening, for which we are very grateful!
Craig Tooley was out recently photographing wildflowers. One of them he found is the non-native Forget-me-not.
Craig found two native wildflowers, including Witch's Teeth, Hosakia gracilis.
And lastly a beautiful and rare Monterey Mariposa Lily, Calochortus uniflorus.
Most wildflowers are very small, Mother Nature's way of making sure you are paying attention!
Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photos with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is his website: www.ruffimage.com
