The Mariposa Lilies that grow on our property are all up in one corner. They aren’t dense or showy. They’re cream colored blooms appear when the grass has turned it’s golden brown. It’s as if they wish to blend into the landscape. If I didn’t know when to expect them I would probably miss them. They come and go in a hurry. This is watercolor, 9″x12″.

They a delicate, subtle and fleeting.

Yellow Tarweed

Just look at this late summer flower. I took this picture near our home and happen to find it beautiful. What I would like to know is who came up with this name, yellow tarweed. That’s a terrible name and it just doesn’t do this flower justice. My favorite flower name of all time is indian paintbrush. That’s a name. It cries out ART! Tarweed cries out stick pest plant. Yuck! It needs another name. How about starburst or golden glory! What do you folks think? Give me some names.
