Mary Sue Ittner trained her camera on a few of my favorite wildflowers. The first is Leopard Lily, Lilium pardalinum. They appear in the late spring. A fun myth is if you sniff this wildflower, you will get freckles!

Another late spring wildflower is Ithuriel's Spear, Triteleia laxa. It is named after Ithuriel, an angel in Milton's Paradise Lost.

And finally, Self Heal, Prunella vulgaris. They are members of the Mint family. They are known to have healing properties. As you can see from Mary Sue's photo, they love sun.

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

Here in Anchor Bay it is sunny and warm. But I can see a fog bank over the Pacific Ocean and I think Point Arena to our north might be foggy today.
