These three white beauties are now blooming in the Lakes Basin - all near wet areas, the streams connecting and draining the many lakes. Click on each photo for a closer view and a caption.

A Quarantine Update
This has not been a busy year on my blog, having sometimes gone a month or more without posting anything new. Currently teaching three college classes online from home, and not finding much time to write and post images for the blog. One more week in the semester and Spring has sprung, so that should change. I have a backlog of several dozen photos taken in the last few weeks, so I will soon be posting them along with stories of the experiences I'm having along the way. My overall theme is generally concentrated on flowering plants and their symbiotic relationships with their pollinators. When the mood strikes, I insert philosophical and political comments. Please feel free to share your comments, but please be nice. I try to be.

We found a lot of the White Rein Orchid (or Sierra Bog Orchid, seems to be two names for it) in the high areas around Tioga Pass a few weeks ago, A very pretty flower, glad to see it is found up your way as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the "caption" when I click on the flowers, what is the top one?
