Sierra flowers

I experienced a couple new flowers during my trip (and please let me know if I have misidentified them)...

Nevada goldenrod (Solidago spectabilis)


Oregon checker mallow (Sidalcea oregana)


They make a nice meadow bouquet!


This one I always liked when I was little...

Ranger's buttons (Sphenosciadium capitellatum)


And let's not forget this treasure I stumbled upon in the garden; the good old daisy knows how to compete for attention.



Every tree and plant in the meadow seemed to be dancing, those which average eyes would see as fixed and still.

  3. Wow. Thank you Gary and Suzanne for such high compliments.

    And Suzanne, I do not think you are self-centered! Sometimes we need to turn inward instead of outward for a while. Especially for healing.
