Observation of the Day

This observation of the day is a native, perennial, flower called the Doubting Mariposa Lily (Calochortus ambiguus)
Isn’t there something peaceful about this flower? If I were a bee, I would totally nap in this flower!

The Willow Bend Nature Challenge is a fun June virtual challenge through iNaturalist, a free observation platform that can be used on your smart phone or computer. It acts as a place for people to record observations, learn how to identify organisms and interact with other enthusiasts and experts. Observations from iNaturalist also contribute to biodiversity science. Anyone can freely access and use this information.
