I took photos of the various wild "flours" at the various stops and camping areas that I stayed in WY and MT. Sorry I am so bad with knowing (or rather not knowing) any plants for IDing.

All flowers were shot ah-la-natural, ie no misting. The moisture is from nature :)

That second shot is stellar!! I love the composition and the framing on it - absolutely! Even the stripe of the shadow across the petal from the grass gives it a lot of personality.

G'day,

I love the second shot from the bottom. The vibrant yellow and the petals leaving the frame give it a wonderful energy.

Great job!

Superb! The last three really do it for me. I love the water droplets.
Where would we be without the generosity of nature?

but only about 5 flowers :(!
