Flowers! Part 2

Continuing my last post, I found a bunch more wildflowers. I got some of them identified (with the help of my aunt) but many are still a mystery.

Such pretty pics!

That last one is a salsify; it grows up here, too. My mom used to use hair spray on the giant seedheads and use them in dried flower arrangements.

There are a couple there that are really familiar to me but I can't quite come up with the names. I'll probably remember when I'm out weeding or at 2 a.m.! LOL!

Oh, the one that kept turning out blurry may be godetia of some kind.

Wow!

I have to look at these a little at a time, as I can't load the whole array, and my usual plan B of opening each image separately doesn't work with photobucket. I cannont believe the variety, and the number which are natives. That azalea is beautiful, and that mariposa lily! And the beautiful little purple ones. When you said "desert flowers" I thought of, like, a prickly pear or an aloe with some weird cactus flower.

You should try right clicking on the image and then "open image in a new tab". It may work better for you.

That is what I usually do. With Photobucket these days I can't get to a straight image file-- that takes me to a photobucket page with the image-- and all the ads, etc. I'm sure there's a way to do it, but I haven't fooled around enough to figure it out yet, or I'm too stupid.

Are you using Firefox (or worse, Internet explorer)?

Firefox is good for a few things, but chrome is where its at. When you right click and open an image in new tab it doesn't redirect you to Photobucket.

Now, what makes something a weed? I define a weed strictly as something growing uninvited where I've planted something else which I want to grow instead. When they're all growing wild, how do you tell the difference?

There's the beginning of a poem "What makes a weed?"

I think that I have never seed
A poem lovely as a weed.
