Wildflowers mostly gone in KY, but a nice looking one in B&W (pretty boring in color)

Beautiful shot of the columbine!

My favorite wildflower, locally, is the bloodroot. Often the first flower I see in the spring (though the last couple years it's been pasque flowers). A sign of hope that winter is truly over, and they are a brilliant single white flower that starts as a little tulip-like cup then opens to a wide white flower with a bright yellow center.

The root, as indicated by the name, is very red, especially when you slice it open.

I'm always a bit bummed when I'm too early for the other hanging garden species but damn I do love them canyon columbines...

Some beauties from Coyote Gulch earlier this week.

Wild chives, a personal joy to find


Sacred Datura, aka Moonflower, aka do not eat


Prickly Pear of sorts


And a COLUMBINE! It seemed early to see them to me, but I've never known when they pop up in the desert

Serendipity! I found the largest Claret Cup Cactus I've ever seen blooming yesterday. The flowers were so many and closely spaced that I thought they were someone's backpack from a distance. I imagine the cactus must weigh over 30 lbs, if not over 50. They're deceptive in their water weight.

 

[Joyce & Tom]

Wow! What a beautiful find. Thanks for sharing.
