[susan]

hi! & tx & hi to Monster!

[John]

We need to try and stump the Monster with a harder one! No looking it up either, not that she needs to.

[mungeclimber]

oh so this is the one for the Monarchs!

[jeff]

Hi back!  I think she is stumped enough dealing with me.

Cool, a thread with answers to all our flower questions!   Any ideas on this one? 
 I was near Willow Creek at the time, and also noticed this plant growing densely on hillsides.

wax currant.

[mungeclimber]

ooooh, ooooh, one more!!








Ok, technically it is two, and not even in the SoYo region. First was around 4,500' in a lush water fed area on a dirt road. The second was in a burn area next to a dirt road, slightly higher in elevation.  This is one of my favorite flowers in the sierra because the color can be such a contrast to other plants nearby.

Thanks Jeff!   Even partly edible (according to the "internet").     
I have a similar question as to munge's latest picture with the orange blossoms.

[jeff]

Thimble berry and wall flower.

[mungeclimber]

BAM!

Thx!!

[susan]

Wall flower is too purdy to be a wallflower

Harlequin Lupine...

[John]

Nice Lupines. I love that particular version.
