Behind a Mule's Ear...and a Lesson to Learn! :D

Today I was alerted to a problem I created by posting my pictures two days ago but keeping them private until last night. I didn't realize that so many people visit their contact's pictures via the Contact steam, so I'm afraid that my pictures may be lost in the ocean of Flickr! From now on I will be sure not to upload my pictures unless I'm going to make them public right away! What a lesson! Thank you Anup , for letting me know about this!!

This image is another view of a beautiful Mule's Ear blossom that I found on our hillside during the Spring. They create a dazzling golden display for about two-three weeks and then are gone, as quickly as they came!

Narrowleaf Mule's Ears: are in the Aster family and are also known as California Campassplant, This perennnial herb grows on the west coast of the United States from Washington to California and can be found in meadows and open forested areas like our tree-covered hillside. Each plant can have one or more large flowers measuring about 4-5" in diameter.
