Red Hot Poker, Weaverville, California

This flower is so distinctive and different from ther flowers.

Red hot poker is the name and it looks exactly as it sounds.  As if you were to poke it into the fire.

Aunt Julies beautiful flowers, Trinity county, California.

Pink Columbine

One of my aunts has some gorgeous flowers around her yard and garden.  Lots of varieties and colors.  Here are a few of my favorites.  It's in Trinity county and very mountainous. 

My aunt. takes very good care of all her flowers, and there seems to always be something blooming between spring, and fall.  My mother, grandmother and aunts all do a wonderful job with their gardens.


Flowers are lovely and brighten your day, and your life.  I am blessed to have aunts, and grandmothers, and my mother who all cultivate flowers, and enjoy them.

Daisy

Hollyhock

Dhalias that look like daisies, Trinity county, California

My cousin's mother in law owns this house that has a nice garden, it's very old.  It has huge old rose bushes, and huge fruit trees, and it is somewhat of a "garden of paradise". 


I find all kinds of flowers here for photos.  There is also a separate garden area, which actually someone has planted vegetables and herbs.

My cousin planted these dahlias which kinda look like a daisy of sorts.  I never saw this flower before, but thought it was very neat.

Caterpillar on Lupin in Trinity County

Caterpillar enjoying wild Lupin.

These wonderful wild flowers are beautiful and also very fragrant.  You can smell them when the wind blows.  I caught this caterpillar enjoying the flowers in the early spring.

The kitty loves to take walks and in the spring we took a couple walks near the river.
 

Spring flower, yellow iris, Trinity county.

Iris' are so beautiful, these yellow bearded iris' bloomed for several days.  

I liked the rusted chair in contrast with the yellow and green colors.  

 

One day it rained really hard, and soon after I went out and took photographs of them.

There were some hidden behind some trees so I decide to pick them and put them in a vase.  Well since then, I have learned that they do not do well in vases of water, at all.  They were almost dying the next day.  I'll leave them outside next time.

Apparently dandelions are not what you want on your lawn, but they can be quite pretty. :-)  I hear they are quite healthy to eat.  Fresh dandelion salad anyone?
