They are not really large, but they do make a statement.

I enjoy the shade of red, but also that the blossoms are solid red, not simply tinted. rather unusual for wildflowers.

Just catching up on the last week’s posts (been at beach on vacation) and they are all wonderful. I especially liked the fairyslippers. So beautiful and aptly named..I can see fairies dancing among them!

If your name is sky rocket, you better be pretty good. This one sure is.

I’m not sure how you do it, but you’ve actually begun to get at least a third dimension, if not more, into these shots.
Keep it up!

Thanks Pinhole! I’ve been hard pressed to keep up with the wildflowers this year. When they finally began to bloom it seems as though they have produced exceptional specimens.

Ahh one of my favorite wildflowers (I say that about a lot of wildflowers, though). Hopefully there’ll be some blooming when I’m camping in the high Sierra in a few days, but it’s still probably a little early for them at 7-8000′.

I would think it’s too early for them at that elevation. these were at about 3,000 and I thought they were early at that. I envy your trip to the Sierras! Hope you enjoy it!

There are just so many of the really pretty flowers in bloom now. I haven’t had time to get out much but even at that I’ve found lots of them.

I don’t know if these can be grown domestically and I’ve never tried to transplant them.
