Inspired by a nice layout of red poppies in fair England on the Postcards From K site, I thought I would share these pictures of flowers I took amongst the chaparral forest. I suspect many folks don’t think of flowers in the hot, dry chaparral with its manzanita, chamise, and toyon, but they are there in the spring.

My name is Norm Benson and my Lowdermilk manuscript is out for beta review.
This is the story of Walter and Inez Lowdermilk, an American couple who came to see soil erosion as a threat to civilization. Their pursuit of land conservation carried them from China and the Dust Bowl to Palestine, where their ideas about reclaiming the land helped build the case for the creation of Israel.

Hi Norm
I particularly like the one of the egg yolk coloured flowers against spiky greyish green bits. And thank you for linking back to me in a field in England! I’m off to the seaside soon so will see what my viewfinder chances across there.
Hope you’re having a good weekend.

Those spiky grayish green bits would be Adenostoma fasciculatum, chamise. The flowers are, ermm, uh, I think, maybe, monkey flower(?).
Nice weekend so far. Though, right now, team USA is down 1-0 to Ghana. At home, it’s going to be hot, 92F (33C) today and 96F (36C) tomorrow.
