spring '08 wildflower pics

Carole is correct, Pale Corydalis, see earlier posts. Hey RickB, that Rhodora shot looks vaguely familiar. Oh yeah, it's hanging on my wall!

Shot it 6/5/06. Obviously, you have a good eye!

Two years apart, amazing!

Anyone know what this is? 5'+ height. Shot at about 3300' on the Baldfaces.

It goes by many names - shadbush, juneberry, serviceberry. There are many varieties. It's in the rose family. Some produce tasty berries.

Irises

A few thousand blue flags are now filling the bottom fields of Wagon Hill Farm in Durham. It is quite the site. Also in bloom are geraniam, lupine, oxe eye daisys, blue eye grass, ragged robin, buttercups, hawkweed and a few other less showy flowers...

Maybe someday I'll figure out the insert stuff but 'til then here's a shot of lupine and daisy from yesterday.

I found this field daisy on a walk around my town yesterday morning.

Beautiful, Carole.
These roses were high on the Bald Knob ledges, didn't look like rugosa.

Some of these photos were taken yesterday and some were taken years ago, some in the White Mtns, some in my own back yard and some in places in between. Some I know the names of and some I don't. If you see a photo without a name tag, I could use some help there. Thanks.

Nice shots, John!

That's a pretty nice album, John. When I have time I will go through it again. I know the names of some that aren't labeled, and I noticed a couple that are mis-labeled.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread the way I should, so some of these entries are over a week old. I will date them so if we refer back here next year we'll know when these were taken.

Thanks, Tim. That's as nice as learning how to tie my shoelaces.

Poppies

This is just from my yard, but it's still cool. If you look at the bigger size in my webshots album you can see two pieces of the pod still hanging on like ears and there's a tiny ant on a petal on the right. I'm not any sort of photographer, hence my shadow is also visible. Oh well.
