| Images from my first visit of 2019... Figuring that the Turk's Cap Lilies should be in good bloom, I headed up Ball Creek Rd to my favorite Lily site. I was immediately engulfed in a downpour, and it was over a half hour before I could get out and photograph. |

| When Don H and I came across this orchid last year, it was well past its prime. Today it was at peak bloom, and I was glad to see it looking so well. |
