(Please scroll down to see two more pictures! :D)

A few days ago, I posted pictures of White Hairy Owl's Clover, which was the 123rd Flower in my count. Today's flower is actually the same species, but it's yellow! Apparently this flower comes in both white and yellow, but I'm calling it a different species because this flower has a slightly different appearance, it grows in a different place and instead of standing at about 4-6" tall, this flower is about 8-10" tall. (This species is known to grow as tall as 16" but neither flower on my property is that tall.). It's found in the Pacific Northwest from British Columbia to California and as far east as Nevada and Idaho.

This pretty little flower is very strange looking upon first sight. Growing very low to the ground, you really need to get your nose down to this flower's level to truly appreciate how pretty it is, since it looks like nothing special at all when you're standing over it. I found this flower last year behind our shop, but this year I discovered that it grows in many places all over our property!

This flower grows about 4" tall on our property but is known to grow as tall as 16". It's found in the Pacific Northwest from British Columbia to California and as far east as Nevada and Idaho.
