Grass-of-Parnassus


This is such a pretty wildflower. My favourite thing about it is the way the 7-15 gland-tipped divisions of the greenish-yellow stamens look as if they have been meticulously made from glass. There is a similar flower called Small Grass-of-Parnassus, but it only has 5-7 of these gland-tipped divisions. Photographed on a walk at Griffith Woods, off Highway 8 in the city. Details are much better when seen in large size, if you are interested.
