The Flowers of a NW September

Here's the rest of the flower photos I took during my trip to N. California...

I took this photo back on the 11th, at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in E Oregon...it's a rough blazingstar, surprisingly not as showy as the tenpetal blazingstar found here in the Black Hills (posted on 8-24).

The fuchsias have been growing in my parents' back yard since I can remember...

Marigolds in my parents' backyard...

Coast buckwheat was growing along the roadside near Samoa Beach, just across the Humboldt Bay from Eureka, CA, my hometown...

Ice-plant with yellow flowers was also growing along the road to Samoa Beach, between Humboldt Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

...A really pretty dahlia in my folks' back yard...Dad is the gardener...

You can't get more orange than the nasturtium! These are growing in my folks' back yard also...

The hydrengea bush growing in my folks' front yard has different variations of blue blooms...

This looks like blood sage, a salvia... growing in front of the head-quarters of the Humboldt Bay Nat'l Wildlife Refuge just south of my hometown...

Silverweed, a rose, creeps along on sandy shorelines...I saw this at Clam Beach, not far north of my hometown.

This is a red ice-plant flower. I saw this at the Arcata marshes...
