No flower expert but do not think it's a wild flower and looks it like the crocus coming up in our yard.  Does the writing on the side have anything to do with what kind of flower it is?

No Eliza you don't have to do it if you don't want too..  I have a website where I sell my photos so it is a habit.  It is a copyright mark which says that the photo is mine and therefore it is illegal to copy or use without my permission.  As I take pics and post them on my website , enter some into contests I put my copyright on them.  You may notice that when Wrightwood posts a pic he always puts the websites name on the bottom..  It is a way to protect our work.

Please don't feel silly.

Thanks Flower for the name of this flower!!!

It's such an adventure taking these macros....I never know exactly what I'm going to get....I concentrate on framing...and holding the camera still....This little one is the size of a pin head...and is definately wild!

Beautiful photo, ffsteve - I love that color, and it's hard to believe that the flower is that tiny!

OK, maybe this question doesn't belong here, but I have a really incredible wildflower picture that someone sent me in an e-mail last year, and I saved it in "My Photos" (I was so proud of myself that I figured out how to do that!).  How would I post that here?  I haven't figured out photobucket, if I can learn that, is there a way to transfer the picture into that, then post it?  Real computer dolt here....

"Dendromecon rigida"
Tree or Bush Poppy,
Depending on which reference you're using.





These were taken in the lower "City Creek" area of the 330...
The blooming is finishing in this area, however, many more plants continue to bloom at the middle elevations...

Is this your new camera, Steve?  When can we expect to see some vacation pics?

Love that Bee! Hopefully it is a Honeybee, and not one of those mean Africanized ones :o

Whitethorn Chaparral....A menace to the urban interface..Ten foot tall, perfect air spacing, and lots of resins..
They have an interesting bloom and beekeepers like to locate boxes nearby..
