It was one of those mild summer days that left dew on the wildflowers and grass, a rarity in Colorado's dry climate. As I sat on my favorite rock gazing into the distance at the "Valley of Contentment," my focus turned to a nearby sprinkle of white in the still green meadow. I got up to investigate and found two beautiful Sego Lilies. I had never seen them in this area before and wondered if it was because of our wetter than normal summer. So I had to look them up and found that they are also called Mariposa Lilies and can come in a variety of colors. I am always astounded at the beauty I find in nature, growing totally untended. My garden flowers never seem to measure up to the delicate beauty of the wildflowers that spring up with no help at all in the extreme climate of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Nature is still the master gardener.

Thank you for checking out my work. I was amazed at the delicate beauty of this flower and spent quite a bit of time crawling around to look at it from all angles! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe word 'extraordinary' comes to mind for this image!
ReplyDeleteWow they are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes, what a gorgeous flower! And you captured it so well.
ReplyDeleteI have found them a couple places this year and think they're just beautiful! I think they must show up in wet seasons because I've never seen them before! Here are my pics:
