Thank you so much for the lovely flowers! I also like to get wildflower photos when traveling, usually.

Betty Purdy has again sent your wonderful pictures, this time of
wildflowers. Since moving to Oregon, I haven't seen many of 'our'
poppies and the other beauties you shared with us. I am coming to
visit next week so maybe Lois and Betty will take me to view
some wildflowers. Harriet Sawyer

Dichelostema name change: it's because of all the nasty, sniggering little middle-school kiddies and their dirty minds.

My thanks to BugBob Allen for ID's on the Ranunculus, Senicio and Plagiobothrys. I am upset about the current name of School Bells when I just got used to calling it Wild Hyacinth instead of Blue Dicks. These plant people are as bad as bird people with all their name changes! :-)
