Very dry Spring here is Taos. Maybe not the best year but still they are out there.

I'm working on my weak photography skills. It's been very late in coming, but field season finally arrived here in eastern Plumas County. The snow plants are extremely common here; they're popping up by the thousands.

Hi Nita, I'm in Portola, yeah,... it still perplexes me every time I drive up to the driveway. But somehow it works.
Thought you and Andy would appreciate the flower threads.

hey there say, bob... i got a few michigan wildflowers/plants that are some i'd never seen before in my near 8 years, here... (i was able to identify about 35? jor more, one year, too, in a field-i always get THAT NUMBER mixed up!!) *mix it up with some other numbers on my lists of things, :))
well, these three, i have no clue and can't seem to find them... but--they have not fully bloomed yet, either...
i will post them by tommorrow, maybe some of you michigan or at least, up northeastway type folks will know what they are...
*oh the " mr smartypants " flower i.d. didn't help this time--but thanks to the one that shared the link, a ways back, :)
say, thanks for the really neat shares here...
:)

Nice shots Karl, especially the night sky. What is the first flower? Here's my favorite JTree shot from this spring. Shot from the hip, more or less with 100 mm macro.

Reilly, I'm stumped.....do you have different picture of this same flower?
My only guess, is some kind of buckwheat...

I agree with Nita. I think Reilly's photo form Lave Beds SP is pussy paws (Calyptridium monosperma), in the Buckwheat family.
