Summer Blooms, Here and Beyond
July 21, 2011
Since I used all my groovy tennis court pictures on yesterday’s picture-of-the-day blog, I’ll have to use this one, taken yesterday, for today’s picture. Close enough. My rules.
This is a stunning little arrangement of yellow puffy flowers, shot in the early morning, in Central Park.
No idea what they are. They remind me of another puffy bloom we saw hiking on Mt. Rainier a couple summers ago. I also don’t know what they are, but I called them, “Cousin It on a Stick.”
They were sweet, but there were far more colorful varieties absolutely covering the hillsides:
The wildflowers that day were so abundant it was mind blowing, the beauty was damn near uncapturable. I’m still remembering that day as one of the most beautiful hiking days of my life.
Anyway…. enough of Summer ’09….back to Davis…

someone told me the name of those puffy ones, but I forgot. I’ve only seen them in orange around Palo Alto.

Those orange ones are beautiful! Could be the same… where’s a botanist when you need one?
