Last night, I was out on the Summit Trail near Wickersham Dome, and I came across possibly 2 or 3 different species of dwarf willow. To the best of my knowledge, the ones photographed here are both Salix phlebophylla (1: male catkins and 2: female catkins). I have my work cut out for me in properly identifying all the species I have photographed so far, and I just wrote an article on the problem this morning: https://www.lwpetersen.com/alaska-wildflowers/introduction-to-dwarf-willows-of-alaska/

Close-up of male catkins of Salix phlebophylla, showcasing clusters of reddish-pink, hairy catkins with numerous yellow stamens protruding. The catkins are surrounded by green, elliptical leaves with visible fine hairs.
Detailed view of female catkins of Salix phlebophylla, characterized by their dense, reddish-burgundy spikes with a slightly shiny texture. Each catkin is interspersed with green leaves, providing a vibrant contrast.

Dwarf willows in Alaska present a complex challenge for identification due to their subtle morphological differences and propensity for hybridization.

My sweet, newly adopted dog is recovering from her first treatment for heartworm. The treatment kicked her ass, but now it's 6 days after the first injection and she's feeling much better. She felt well enough to pose in front of the pretty posies for me.

Eschscholzia californica (California poppy) is one of my favorites! Orange being my second favorite color.

Blumen gehen auch in Schwarz-Weiß - auch wenn die Holde das anders sieht.

Wobei ich auch zugeben muss, das die meisten mir in Farbe auch besser gefallen.

Oxeye daisy. The geometric fractal pattern in its center is like my mammillaria cactus.
#bloomscrolling #cactus #daisy #fractals
Two oxeye daisies, one larger and closer to the camera, the other smaller and in the background. They each have a yellow center with little buds forming concentric intersecting arcs that spiral out from the center. This is surrounded by flat long white petals all around, each petal about as long as the diameter of the yellow part.
Looking straight down at a mammillaria cactus. Like the daisy, it has concentric intersecting spirals radiating out from the center, of deep green flesh with clusters of bright white spikes.

Lots of wildflowers at Lory State Park. Cacti look to have buds.

Here, take some flowers, because tomorrow is Monday. Well, in the US, it's a holiday weekend... I will be working at the gallery tomorrow though...
This is an iris I found in the park the other day. The color combination is striking.

Our Barrel Cactus treated us to a little sunshine. (Second picture to show scale.) with @spsheridan

The image shows a close-up of a bright yellow cactus flower. The flower has numerous pointed petals that are yellow at the base and gradually turn brownish towards the tips. In the center of the flower, there are several pale yellow stamens with pollen. The background consists of a fuzzy, beige surface, likely the body of the cactus.
The image shows a close-up of a round cactus with long, sharp, yellowish spines radiating outward. At the center of the cactus, there is a small, bright yellow flower. A person's hand with a manicured fingernail is pointing towards the flower. The background includes some green grass and a reddish-brown surface, possibly a patio or walkway.

New blossoms are showing up every morning now. Summer took me on a tour so we could get some photos to text to my daughter and toot to you.

White and red fuchsia flowers, some open, and some still in round red buds. They are peppermint red and white, with alternating colors: bright red sepals, fluffy white petals with red at the base, and long red stamens with white tips.

Ozark chinkapin, Castanea ozarkensis, is a chestnut tree endemic to the Ozark region. The early 20th century chestnut blight decimated its populations like American chestnut.

This shows the species in bloom and it smells incredible! It has a tremendous amount of attention from various insects and bugs. I've counted five bee species, two ant species, two beetle species, flies, wasps, etc. I'm seeing in very small part, its former ecological role as a dominant species.

A 7 foot tall (~2.1m) Ozark chinkapin tree in full bloom in the morning hours.
Male flowers appear in catkins (2-8” long) in late May-June. Female flowers appear at the base of male catkins.
A cool read on pollination strategies of this species. TL;DR: It is most successful with wind and insect pollination in tandem! https://ozarkchinquapinmembership.org/article-the-effect-of-insects-on-seed-set-of-ozark-chinquapin-castanea-ozarkensis/

My garden is a love letter.
To my partner, my friends, my neighbours, the bees, the trees the Earth. And maybe even to you who might appreciate some of it's beauty 😉

Having been here for years, many plants have a story, memory, motivation associated with them. I am going to share my garden pictures in this thread throughout the season.

My partner always wanted a Magnolia, so I'm taking extra care of this youngin.

Solomon's seal flowers. In the same family as lily of the valley.
#bloomscrolling #SolomonsSeal
Looking up under a Solomon's seal plant. A long reddish stem, with broad oval striated leaves above, and pairs of white flowers hanging below. The unopened flowers are cucumber shaped and mostly white, with green tips, and when they open, those green tips flare out into six little petals
Side view of the Solomon's seal plant, with the pairs of dainty white flowers against the background of the lush green leaves. The flowers have opened at the end of the stem, and are still small and closed near the base.

I don’t find a lot of Painted Trillium [Trillium undulatum] in the woods, but was lucky to find this sweet little patch.

My garden right now. Heaps of flowers. Hard to believe this was a wasteland of lawn a year ago.

The California poppies were volunteers. I love how many bumble bees they attract.

Yesterday was a fantastic day of hiking and photography in Alaska. I updated a wildflower guide, captured a black-capped chickadee collecting nest material, saw my first blooming wildflower of the season (northern kittentails), and hiked Wickersham Dome, unexpectedly meeting an old friend.

This is a photo of pink poppy flowers. Bathed in the strong sun, their petals are translucent and thin, like a double layer of organdy. There are three poppies in bloom in the photo. Their buds are covered with many thorns and hang heavily from their heads. The background is blurred with many white and pink baby's breath flowers.
This is a picture of flowers in a field I passed by on my way home from work. In the foreground is a cluster of baby's breath, behind it are swaying pink poppies, and in the background are purple irises. There is a wheat field in the distance. Colorful spring gradations adorn the country road.
