Hiding

When Steve and I went to the top of the Upper Table Rocks back in March, we both fell in love with the gorgeous Grass Widow flowers we found there. I took many pictures, and this flower looks amazing, even when you can barely see it! :D Here we have a newly emerging Grass Widow, showing us why it got its name! All alone, seemingly sprouting from grass! (That's not grass though, it's the leaves of the Grass Widow plant!)

In case you didn't get to read about Grass Widows in earlier pictures I posted, here is the information again.

Grass Widows have a couple of other names, including Satin Flower or Purple-Eyed Grass. It's one of Spring's earliest bloomers and they sprout from bulbs, usually in clusters of several flowers.

If you would like to know more about these beautiful flowers, Wiki has a page here: Wiki: Olsynium douglasii

I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
