Starting off with some pretty clover.
Next are some Mule’s Ears…this is the biggest clump I have ever seen with them all in bloom. Perfect. (Ignore the camera strap in the corner of the photo.)
So much like a sunflower and the bloom is rather large. You can really see the soft looking texture of the leaf which gives this flower its common name.
I wasn’t the only one enjoying the blossom.
Next came the lupine again….so much of it now along the trail: Miniature lupine.
Here is its leaf.
Last but not least, the California poppy. You can see one getting ready to open up and the other still in the bud stage with its “hat” on.
I have about four entries worth of photos to upload but I am out of time this evening. Stay tuned….our bird entry is coming up in a day or two as well.
I’d never heard of mule’s ears. They are really pretty, I need to google them and see if they will grow in northern NY. They’d look pretty next to some red bee balm.
So pretty! I had no idea the mules’ ears bloomed like that!
They are amazing flowers and so bright and cheerful. It makes me yearn for my sunflowers to be in bloom. 🙂
Beautiful flowers! I really need to go on a photography walk at our Healthy Habitat. It is amazing right now! A whole field of wildflowers! I love your photos.
Go for a walk Dana! Enjoy the time of year before it gets too hot and dry.
Thanks for the comment.
