Here are some little desert flowers from our NM trip.
I think that's a baby aster.

Thanks Tony! I wondered what they were. Here's another:

This is a website we often use for identifying wildflowers around here in Tucson. It's very easy to use and very useful. We've got a load of books too.

Looks like you had a very scenic trip. I love the striking colors!
Be careful what you wish for as you just might get it.

Maybe we should start a thread called "What color are your nails this week?"

I wanted to take a picture of every iris at the Napa Iris Farm today. Here are just a few:
For those on FB, I've posted up several more if you would like to take a look.

Ooooh! More lovely Iris!
Between rain showers over the weekend I took my very shiny new toy out in the garden...a camera I have a lot to learn about! Still, I'm going to have fun trying to work it all out
A callistemon just after the rain...
and Helitrope or 'Cherry Pie'

Your new toy looks very good Aunty. The water drops on the callistemon really stand out well.
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

Oooo! Gorgeous Irises Jaz. We have some out front, just a light purple. Do you happen to know the names of the bottom two you took pictures of?
Aunty, your flower pics are beautiful too! Doesn't look like you're having any problem getting used to the new camera.

Sorry, Catch-up. I saw so many, I lost track of most of the names. You might be able to find it on their website: http://napairis.com/
Loved the piccies, Aunty. Am jealous of the SNT tho.
