if you look attentively, you can find a white flower on the branch:

A bunch of different species of flowering plants from a grassy field during CNC!

The Desert Green Gentian Frasera albomarginata is pretty rare in my area. A few days ago, I discovered a concentration of them. I always thought they had 4 petals, but I’ve found a few specimen with three and six petals.

Three Bouteloua species and Panicum virgatum.

After probably a decade of longing, I finally got to see sand food

I came across this Instagram clip about sandfood today, and it instantly reminded me of Tony’s milestone find. Such an interesting plant!

Phalaris arundinaceae

The flowers didn’t show up until May at Kanopolis Lake this year, but they’re finally here. Here’s a few highlights from my recent hike.

Thimbleberries, lupines, buttercups, and clover!

I know I’ve posted this somewhere in the forum but I don’t remember where so here’s a link.

I have a crabapple tree in my front yard. I’ve taken a handful of photos when it’s in bloom.

A few thistles I shot in Deadwood, SD. These are pretty noisy because they are copies of copies of jpg’s. I have the originals on my computer, shot with a DSLR.

It’s that special time of year in my province, Ontario! Our provincial flowers are in bloom, and they’re so gorgeous! Here are the Painted Trillium, and Red Trillium! Though, technically our “Provincial flower” is the White Trillium. They take 7-10 years to bloom, and rely on ants to spread their seeds.

The strawberries are also in bloom!

I also met a new friend! Creeping Foamflower.

Large Muhlenbergia capillaris flowering grasses. Nothing beats its visual impact when the wind is strong.

A bunch of flowers out and blooming in the interior of British Columbia!

Very hard to decide but I think this one is the best

[ltdbjd]

I went down to the North Platte River where it runs alongside the Edness K. Wilkins State Park in Casper, Wyoming, during some extra time between appointments. I didn’t notice it at the time, but there’s an insect hiding between the flowers. Taken with an older iPhone.

No id confirmation on this one (something in the sunflower family) but the photo was taken in Douglas County, Colorado August 2017. Even though it is not a prefect flower I kind of like it. Maybe because of the bluish background.

Alopecurus pratensi

A rather common species, but the pic turned out really well here. From Ísafjörður, Iceland.

[ASJ-2022]

Bromus lanatus from the high altitude montane grasslands around Quito, Ecuador (approx elevation 4000 m). Has purplish pubescent spikelets.

Finally managed to identify it in iNaturalist with the help of some researchers in the area.

Seems rare as it only has 13 other observations in the world (plus, a paper mentions it as rare).

The first pic turned out artistic looking
