2834 - AlpenPix (Wild) - 2010-12-07 (Dimension: 1183 x 1255 pixels - Counter: 6024) Mentzelia laevicaulis Locality: USA - Nevada - Alongside Big Creek Road, near Big Creek Campground, Lander County, Nevada, elevation 6,700 feet. Photographer: Jane Hendrix Note: Blazing Star's large, spectacular flowers caused Klaus Hendrix to put on the brakes as we were driving up this narrow back road. Growing all alone on a gravelly road cut, it commanded our attention and we took several photographs on September 23, 2010. (Sent: Alpine-l@nic.surfnet.nl) (Click on the picture to enlarge) |
