Large-Flowered Collomia, Collomia Grandiflora



Day 287: I'm afraid I can't resist posting a wildflower photo taken during my bike ride yesterday. You see, Large-Flowered Collomia is somewhat uncommon in Western Washington, and the only place I know that it occurs is on the prairie. Primarily a plant of the east side, it grows in open to lightly wooded areas and meadows. The flowers form a compact head, and are a pale yellowish-salmon color which is most unusual and appealing. The stamens bear dark blue pollen.
