The Henderson's Shooting Star is found in moist places in the foothills, often in large clusters. It is often called Mosquito Bill because of the resemblance of the stamen sticking out the bottom of the flower to the needlelike proboscis of a mosquito. Dodecatheon hendersonii
Another spectacular color combination in the wild, made clear by the composition of this shot. The clarity of the subject against an out-of-focus background makes for a very interesting picture. Elaine @ 06-07-2011
