Pistil Power!

In March, Steve and I went to the top of the Upper Table Rock to look for wildflowers. The lovely Grass Widows were in full bloom all over the mesa! We went crazy taking pictures because they are such colorful, delicate beauties and we'd never seen them before!

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
