Mellow Yellow, Color Carnival, Macro Flowers Saturday, Today's Flowers, Macro Monday / Matilija Poppy
I saw these "Fried Egg Flowers" at the Fullerton Arboretum yesterday.
I saw them on Ebie's post, from the Main Ingredient, last week and had to get to the arboretum to see them for myself!
These flowers are also known as the Matilija Poppy.
...or the Tree Poppy.
They like to reach for the sky!
These are growing on three sides of this building.
I am not sure why they can be called "Tree Poppies" when they grow as a shrub.
They can be found on hillsides in coastal canyons in Southern California and parts of Mexico.

Macro Monday, That's My World Tuesday - Hillside Flowers Up Close
Click on photos to enlarge!
Our hillsides are covered with these yellow flowers.

I showed the hillside views on yesterday's post.
The flowers are trying to creep beyond this chain link fence.
There are some purples mixed with the yellow.
This one is also poking through the same chain link fence.
I focused closely on the flower causing the chain to become part of the bokeh.
You can barely see the lines of the chain in this photo.

This Cymbidium Orchid plant is making me very happy!

Two others are NOT making me happy and I have a feeling they are skipping out on me this season.

My posts just prior to this one show the 51+ acres of the Giant Tecolote Ranunculus planted in alternating rows of color and some rows of mixed colors!
There was purple and white as well...unfortunately I couldn't get close enough to get a macro of those two colors.

Macro Monday / A Snowy Walk in the Woods - Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park, California USA
We took a 2 mile hike, this past week, up to the Mariposa Grove of the Giant Sequoias in Yosemite National Park.
The elevation gain was 1000 feet in that two miles.
There is still a lot of snow at the 5,000 ft. and higher elevations which is why we had to walk the road rather than drive to the grove.
I saw this lonely Black Oak leaf lying in the snow.
I thought this patch of melting snow looked like a ghost at first.
Then I decided it looked more like an owl...
But, today (3 days later) it might not look like anything at all.

Mellow Yellow Monday, Macro Monday / White Orchids
I continue my challenge with macro.
My 12 orchid plants are blooming again...
at least several of them for now.
Every now and then I am lucky to have all of them in bloom at once, and then I have a VERY colorful garden window.

Macro Monday, Today's Flowers #75 / Shamrocks in January
My parents gave me a bag of shamrock bulbs so many years ago. Now my yard is full of these happy little flowers and they have even spread into my neighbor's yard. We have a lot of blooming shamrocks right now in the middle of January.
