feeling: accomplished

Just discovered that one of my photos is featured on the species page for Hibiscus denudatus. This blossom was a difficult one for me to ID.
This is pleasing, but not quite as thrilling as the morning canyon hike when i discovered these beautiful desert flowers.

springtime is an education unto itself

A year ago i knew our regional wildflowers, and now as winter turns to spring, they look foreign again. One's knowledge base has to change with the seasons.
Early bloomers. Plants still dormant or in vegetative state. Other plants just emerging from the soil.
I've begun logging wildflower species when they're NOT blooming, as well as when they are. In this way i hope to build up my 4-season recognition skills.
