2009 California Wildflower Photography

May 3 2009 - Searching for Kennedy's Mariposa Lilies

Time to take another hike

 

Luckily, I found them, Kennedy's Mariposa Lilies and Sierra Onion flowers

 

Despite arid conditions they appear remarkably fresh

 

Almost in full bloom

 

I was happy finding these elusive flowers

 

Bees buzzed happily

 

Diving in

 

Time to find different flowers to photograph

Peeking inside

 

Not quite a California Redwood, but just as impressive
