Blue Flex — Image presentation by kenne
This is the third posting of this beautiful wildflower over the last two years — the presentation is a little different each time. Like a lot of wildflowers, this rich blue beauty last less than a day, opening in the early morning and often closing by noon.
Blue Flax wildflowers
Being showy by nature
Love mountain showtime

Wildflowers Color The Mountain Meadows From Blossom To Blossom 6 comments
Wildflowers Color The Mountain Meadows From Blossom To Blossom — Image by kenne
There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.
— from the Li-Young Lee poem “From Blossoms”

Thurber Cinquefoil — Images by kenne
This beautiful open cup-shaped purplish-red flower is common in the summer on Mount Lemmon.
As I will often do when posting photos of flowers, I Google the name to confirm what I think it is. The fourth listing was a posting I did July 10, 2012.Â

It’s so pretty, it’s worth another posting!

Yarrow  (Achillea Millefolium) On Mt. Lemmon — Images by kenne
A beautiful plant
alive or dry
long lasting
diffidently not a
one-night stand
possessingÂ
herbal properties
providing a variety
of benefits
throughout the ages
medieval to modern
known for
clotting blood to
increasing intelligence
just ask theÂ
 Pueblo peoples —
try chewing before
fire-eating.

It Is Dry, Dry, Dry 1 comment
While hiking the very dusty Aspen Draw Trail on Mount Lemmon I saw my first columbine flower of the summer. It was one of the few wildflowers currently blooming on the mountain. It is very dry in the Santa Catalinas. Much of the trail has a top layer of gray power dust. The summer rains are needed to help bring on the wildflowers. The few that have appeared are short in height and the blooms aren’t lasting very long.
Last summer this blog probably had too many columbine images because they are so irresistible. I hope I will soon be able to post a beautiful fresh-looking columbine.
Here are two links to posts last June:

WILDFLOWERS IN THE DESERT
There’s blue sage and
Comet Blazing Star,
Forget-me-nots and
Desert candle;
Owl’s clover, and
Dune Primrose and
There is the Scarlet Bugler
And Rattlesnake weed,
Prince’s plume and
Linear-leaf Goldenbush;
Tidy Tips and Rock Cress,
Globe Gilia and Adonis Lupine;
Pineapple Weed, and
Wooly Paintbrush,
Baby Blue Eyes, Fremont Pincushion
And Sun Cups,
Fiddleneck and bright yellow Coreopsis,
Thistle Sage and Desert Calico,
Dandelion and Apricot Mallow and
Fiddleneck and
Of course, a landscape of
Millions of golden poppies;
The desert is in bloom
And it’s all here,
Clamoring for attention,
Demanding to be admired.

My desert wildflower,
growing in the desert —
the most challenging place
on earth.Â
Saving your strength,
waiting for the rain to come,
when you reach for the sun
and bloom;Â
that’s what you’re gonna do,
wait for the rain,
reach to the sun
and bloom.
