Weird, I've never seen anything like that. The only thing that comes close is hardhack (Douglas' spirea), but it has much denser inflorescences. I guess it could be a mutant hardhack with loose clusters? At least the leaves match. Well that makes me feel better for not being able to come up with an...

Here's one from July 26, 2017 near Little Castle Lake in the Castle Crag Wilderness. I can seem to find anything on the wildflower sites that looks like it to me.

I was going back through some older photos and can't seem to ID this flower from Lower Table Rock taken on 6/9/2017. Any thoughts?

The first is a paintbrush, but you probably knew that already. Maybe Cusick's? http://science.halleyhosting.com/nature ... sickii.htm

Thanks, I was having a hard time placing which paintbrush but there are a few photos in the link that match perfectly.

Can anyone help me with these two? Saw quite a bit of each on Memorial Day Weekend at Zumwalt Prairie.





Thanks in advance!

I wondered about a spider, maybe an artistic one.

Was looking at some photos from the Tamanous Trail and spotted this white thing on the leaf to the right. It almost looks like a moth outline but maybe that is just an illusion (or a moth ghost? :lol: ) Anyone able to tell me what I'm seeing here? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47727394562_6a59...
