The twinflower is a pip to get a photo of; they're tiny flowers, from the honeysuckle family. They're growing on the mossy rocks in the shade along Roughlock Trail.

It's always exciting to see one of the orchids in the Black Hills! This is the striped coralroot, also seen along Roughlock Trail Sun. There's also a spotted coralroot, which has white spots instead of the stripes.

The cutleaf anemone is from the buttercup family. It runs from white to a deep pink-purple, which I've only seen one of, last year. (See May 30th post.)
I can click on your blog, hear the music, it starts... I see the beautiful photography and I am transformed.....Perfection....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics J'ellen.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you using for camera gear? None of us got good photos of the twinflower!
ReplyDeleteWill post video of the dipper that my daughter got so you can see him.
I looked for coralroot, but missed that one, lucky you.
I love your pictures and your layout. Brilliant! I'm thinking you would like my daughter's water colors which you can view at http://onewingoriginalwatercolors.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteShe hasn't up-dated too much in the last little while because she's been editing a couple of my manuscripts, but take a look.
By the way, her mother (I'm not Tracy's natural father) is also from California ... Woodside.

Queen, such a lovely compliment, thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteWarren, thanks!
Caroline, I still use my point-and-shoot Fuji digital camera for macro shots of small flowers. It's a FinePix A900.

ReplyDeleteI love all your seeing reds, especially the cutleaf anemone and the post showing the little chippy..they are just too cute, as you said.
