Leichtlins Mariposa Lily — Calochortus leichtlinii
Calochortus forever. Mariposa Lilies are varied and beautiful. I’ve seen over ten species of them this year, from calochortus tiburonsis which only grows on one hill, to this gorgeous mariposa lily from Yosemite. This almost looks like it has three petals, but the other three (all lilies have 6) are tiny but present.Â

Sierra Penstemon Macro
These flowers are awesome, they look like they have ribs on the inside and so few flowers share the shape with three lobes on the bottom.

Macro Mini Flower Arrangement
I found these flowers on a hike yesterday and made a little arrangement with them. Then I had a great time shooting them with my 100mm!

Not native but still really beautiful. I love seeing these guys popping up near creek beds.

Tiburon Mariposa Lily Macro
These flowers make me melt. Only 40,000 individuals all on one single serpentine outcrop in Marin. According to wikipedia scientists think they have always only exists there - which is much cooler than being widespread and slowly dying to nothing.
