From a few years ago (2003, a stellar wildflower year in the CA high desert), but it kinda seemed like a good night for some flowers...

Hey Roadstead,
Those are pinedrops. They do look a bit like snowplant; neither has chlorophyll and so are not green and cannot photosynthesize.
Hey J tree, any other photos of the unidentified thistle with bluish/purple flowers from table mountain? Is that photo from the Table Mountain near Oroville, CA?
Thanks.

Hey Rick Vena,
Appreciate the photos.
The first one is the goldenglobe lily (Calochortus amabilis.
The thrid one is the desert peach (Prunus andersonii).
Don't know the others.
Keep 'em coming.

From Owens River last week.
Pink thistle and check out the perfectly camouflaged spider living on it.
From the top of Stunt Road this week:
Weird red blooming stalks.
I forget the name of these yellow fellows. Growing in the anise. Usually are white.
My favorite native flower... the matilija poppy

Hey justthemaid,
The pink thistle is Snowy thistle (Cirsium occidentale), a native thistle. There are several insidious non-native invasive thistles. So it's good to know if it's native, I think.
The weird red stalks are Dudleya, that's the scientific genus name and the common name. I can't tell which species of Dudleya it is, theres about a dozen different ones in California. If you see it again look for the fleshy succulent-like leaves at the base of the stem, the leave usually come to a pointed apex.
excuse me for gettin all nerdy on ya, but I'm kinda into it.
