Comments:

Very cool blossoms - so different than the plants that bloom here. I posted a pic of a magnolia blossom today - like I said, different!

Oh - and wanted to let you know I did sing along with your Home on the Range post. Thank you!!

Maybe the unidentified are erigeron daisies?

Excellent photos! Excellent selection of wildflowers!

Shooting stars are always fun.

I’m opened up to a whole new environment!
The Columbine? Was the school named after the flower?

Have you EVER lived in a dull boring place? I’m sure most of it has to do with your eye for the beauty around you and your talent with the camera, but my goodness…you make me drool!
