And here is a longer view of some of that big stand of Mountain Jewelflowers, along with an S. brachiatus before blooming, with my hand to give you a sense of their size.

Sweet Jewelflowers I've met in past years, from my archives.💚
1)Socrates Mine Jewelflower (Streptanthus brachiatus)
2)Uncommon Jewelflower (S. glandulosus ssp. sonomensis)
3)Brewer's Jewelflower (S. breweri)
4)Mountain Jewelflower (S. tortuosus)

That's neat! I like the ruffly petals. I found a twisted jewelflower (S. cordatus) in Colorado Natl Monument once, never saw them again, but apparently they're not uncommon.

Saw this endangered Most Beautiful Jewelflower (Streptanthus glandulosus ssp. glandulosus) in the Mayacamas Mtns. yesterday. I agree with its name!💚

Endemic CA plant & its pollinator: Serpentine jewelflower & yellow-faced bumblebee. Got it with my sister and for our sister tattoos she got also got an endemic with the same pollinator: Hartweg's doll lily with a yellow-faced bumblebee. (📷s by our tattoo artist Geo Graphics Tattoo)

For #MacroMonday here are a few examples of the gorgeous #NativePlants we saw blooming this week in the #HighSierra. Names are in their descriptions.💚
