Another of our local wildflowers. We've had some thawing but no wildflowers yet.

This is another wildflower we went to see at Dry Falls State Park in Washington on our recent trip. Though it also grows near our home, it is much more common in the park. It is quite a large flower but we had a hard time photographing it since it was quite windy.

Photographed in Dry Falls State Park, this beautiful Mariposa Lily also grows near our home.

This is Calochortus macrocarpus, the Sagebrush Mariposa Lily, photographed on the prairie near our home.

It is rather ironic that several weeks ago I had driven three or four hours and done some hiking to see these Sagebrush Mariposa Lilies and then my wife and I found them growing in the fields near our home. There are a number of species of Mariposa Lilies in Washington (another similar species is shown in the insets along with another photo of this species) and they are always a delight.
