Elegant Cluster-lily: The 143rd Flower of Spring & Summer! (5 more pix below!) (Explore #48)

I am in love with this beautiful lily, and this year there were more flowers than I've ever seen before! I took dozens of pictures over the few weeks they were in bloom and I hope you enjoy the series below!

Also known as Harvest Brodiaea and Elegant Brodiaea, this stunning flower grows in meadows and forests of northern California and Oregon. There are several dozen Brodiaea species and we are are home to at least 4 species!

If you would like more information about these flowers, Wiki has a small page here: Wiki: Elegant Cluster-lily (Brodiaea elegans)

By the way, I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
