Great Burnet With Butterfly
The flower is quite striking. The butterfly was a nice touch. I thought this was a European Skipper at the time, but it quite clearly isn't.
Species: Sanguisorba officinalis (Great Burnet, official burnet), Lycaena mariposa (Mariposa Copper)

Checker Lily With Stamen
I like to see the detail in the stamens on these flower - it gives you a sense of what is going on under that umbrella.
Species: Fritillaria affinis (checker lily)

Checker Lily Flowers
I was really surprised to see these Checker Lilies Under the tree within sight of the ocean. Then I looked around - there was a smaller group of flowers under most trees close to the beach. Last time I saw these flowers was in the southern gulf islands.
Species: Fritillaria affinis (checker lily)

Iris In Front Of Blue Lake
Bright yellow is hard to expose correctly. Getting the water semi-transparent behind was a bonus.
Species: Iris pseudacorus (paleyellow iris, yellow flag)

Tulip On Textured Background
When I saw this photo what grabbed my attention was not the flower, it was the background.

Brown Eyed Susans Undershot
Putting the sun behind the flowers is quite important - it makes the pedals glow and lets you keep the blue sky.
Species: Gaillardia aristata (common gaillardia, brown eyed susan)

Wet Hardhack
This is more technically Spiraea douglasii var. roseata . It's quite common near ponds and streams in the lower alpine around here, but I never bothered to take a picture of it. Today I did.

Species: Spiraea douglasii (rose spirea, hardhack)

Bright Spot On Queens Cup
When there is a spot of light in an otherwise flat forest floor, you want to do the most you can with it.
Species: Clintonia uniflora (bride's bonnet, Queens Cup)

Queens Cup At End Of Bloom
At the start of the hike there weren't many with all of there pedals. As you got higher up (and earlier in the season) the flowers looked better.

Species: Lilium columbianum (Columbian lily)

Field Chickweed With Dead Wood
This is another one of those flowers that apparently grows everywhere that I have never seen before. It's quite nice how it mats. Again, I figured this was an escaped garden plant.
Species: Cerastium arvense (field chickweed)
