Kate Gelles was enjoying springtime on the Mendonoma Coast by photographing wildflowers. She found Cream Cups, Platystemon californicus.
This native wildflower is found on coastal meadows. Such a beauty!
Thanks to Kate for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
Peter Baye found some lovely wildflowers in the Annapolis area. The first is Bristly Jewelflower, Streptanthus glandulosus. It's a member of the mustard family
Next is the lovely Bird's-Eye Gilia, Gilia tricolor.
Bird's-Eye Gilias are members of the Phlox family. Both of these flowers are California natives. They should never be picked - just enjoy their loveliness in the wild.
Thanks to Peter for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
