Flower pics (image intensive) + some guns

spurgemastur
Four of these I took last Sunday. The fifth (the grass widow) is about a month old. All are from Kamiak Butte, about 12 miles NNW of Pullman WA.

I'm not sure how many on this board will enjoy these, but they sure turn my crank. I usually start having dreams of the spring flora in about February each year.

Grass Widow (Sisyrinchium inflatum)

Glacier Lily (Erythronium grandiflorum)

Delphinium (Delphinium cf. nuttallii)

Balsamroot (Balsamorrhiza saggitata)

Uhhh, meadow rue? or Anemone? Or something? I'm just not sure of the common name for this one. (Anemone cf oregana)

Edit: Shucks. This is a gun forum after all, so I suppose I should try to be relevant.

This is from my last shooting adventure. The guns are sitting in a meadow with Camas (Camassia quamash -- the blue one) and Lomatium (Lomatium sp. -- the greenish yellow one).

Who can name all of the guns in the picture? Frankly, I'm not sure I'd get the three plastic guns right and I shot them all just two days ago!

    Glock
    Ruger
    Colt
    Ruger
    S&W

    All but one brand correct. Somebody'll guess most of the calibers, sooner or later.

    No, but if you add all of the brands you name to all of the brands jc_crazyhorse names, we have all of the brands we need, plus two that aren't pictured.

    Yeah, see, this explains a lot. I don't like my crank turned, it kinda hurts. I especially don't want flowers turning my crank.

    But, hey, if you like your crank turned and flowers turn your crank, well, more flowerpower to ya.

    Yes. And since nobody's guessing, the calibers are 5.7, .45, .45, .22, .45, .22 and .357.

    Locust, the camera is an Olympus C-5060, 5Mpix. It's really good for this kind of work but extremely slow to focus under low light.

    Is that an easter lily mrbruce? Might not be a bad idea to size the pic down a hair before posting it; somebody's going to cry about having their screen stretched.

    Nice picture, anyway.

    spurgemastur,where i used to work in west virginia there was a spot about 20x30ft where pink lady slippers grew,very pretty orchids it was a piece of land straight out of canada, i had to build a 12ft high fence around it to protect them from locals or people wanting to steal them,they are on govt property, US Forest Service land in greenbrier co,wva awesome sight when blooming, i believe the area was referred to as a glen? also some tree species grew nearby only found in the canadian bog areas, Loko [:D] we have rue anemone here in ohio too, nice pics!
