As I mentioned last week I am going to continue with images of different types of trilliums. Here are three more. Again, pile on with whatever flowers you would like.

Gleason's Trillium, Messenger Woods, IL

Red Trillium, Mississippi Palisades State Park, IL

Yellow Trillium, Great Smokey Mountains National Park, TN

Interesting collection of trilliums - I have never seen the red ones before and they are stunning.

I am going to go with some of the blooms in our yard from a brief session shooting this morning.

Camellia:

Anemone:

Thanks, Alan. Great images from you today. I really like that back lit Anemone.

Hey Doug, I have to remember to actually take a close up of a flower for this. You know me.... it's all about Wide Angle lenses, so I rarely remember to get a longer lens on so I can get tighter.

But this is a hillside towards the south end of Big Sur I found last week. I have driven this road many times and never noticed this before. The hillsides are carpeted in this purple flower that forms like a spongy matting, and then interspersed throughout were poppies. In this case it was a bit windy and getting a bit later in the afternoon, so the poppies were closed. I don't know what the name is of the purple flower.

Douglas, that's a great selection of Triliums but that red is eye popping.

Alan, beautiful flowers today.

John, love that white trillium.

Jim. great image, could the purple be ice plant?

Nice one, Jim. I think Ben might be right, but they are too small to tell for sure.

Thanks Doug. I didn't get any closeups of the purple flowers, so ice plant it is.

I went to Knotts Berry Farm for dinner and grabbed this as I wanted a closeup of a flower.

Late to the party, but since I work Sat-Tues it's hard to post on Sundays. And a neighbor was careless with her firepit (had an open fire during red flag warnings last week and didn't dispose of the ashes properly. Set 10 acres on fire and I lost my back fence and a small bit of the back yard -- been kind of busy)
The usual pasque flower that I see around here is Pulsatilla vulgaris - a purple flower. Today, I saw a white one, Pulsatilla occidentalis

Sorry about your brain-dead neighbor, Monika. I hope she is paying for a new fence. That color is pretty. I have never seen one that color.
