75/366: Rare Pink and White Grass Widow (+ 3 insets)

(3 more in notes above)

Steve and I live very close to a prominent pair of landmarks in southern Oregon called the Upper and Lower Tablerocks. Every Spring, these plateaus explode into a flowering wonderland, complete with a seasonal marsh. The stars of the show are acres of magenta-colored flowers called Grass Widows. Steve and I went up to photograph the flowers a couple of years ago and while I was wandering around, I found this amazing blossom! I didn't know they come in any other color, let alone two tones! I have since learned that there are rare white ones, though I have never seen one here.

The background of this picture was not ideal so I created a textured background to replace the original.
