Really nice image Douglas. Today I am showing a field of red flowers (I don't know the names of many wild flowers). This was up on Lake Creek Road a couple weeks back.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Nice one, Ben. The red ones are Scarlet Gilia and I think the purple-blue ones are Penstemon but I can't see them well enough to be sure.

Nice starters Doug and Ben.

I am back with more backyard blooms from this weekend.

From a few weeks ago. Common snowberry. Symphoricarpos albus. I was on my belly to photograph some phlox & looked up to see these cuties hanging down. I remember waking up in Zion after completing a little big wall and finding myself under var. oreophilus. So charmed was I that I attempted to procure one to plant in my garden but all they had was this one.

Looks hard to shoot with the blooms facing downwards. Nice you caught one looking back at you.

I was not only on my belly, but downhill.
