Sierra Wildflowers

[lambertiana]

Just to show that I take pictures of things besides mountains (my wife complains about that), I do take the time to smell the roses, so to speak. Here are some of the flowers I saw in the Sierras this year. I have identified those I can, and if anyone knows the others (or can correct my identification) please chime in.

Rock Fringe

Alpine Gold

Red Mountain Heather

Sky Pilot (Polemonium) I have never seen this below about 12,000'

Is this a daisy or aster?

Mountain Pride Penstemon

Sierra Primrose

Nice area you live in. I went on a boar hunt at a ranch above Kaweah Lake last year. Never been in that neck of the woods before. I wish I had had more time to go up into the mountains. Awesome country.

My cousin just publised a book on Sierra wildflowers. Must be good, because she is a freaking hippie!

I will post the title, etc., when I can remember what it is.
