A few flowers and some prickly pear fruit from the Guadalupe Mountains in West Texas. I knew what they were at one point but alas, I should have written it down. I can't keep up with flora identification. Boo! But either way, there were tons of wildflowers in the mountains in September. All sorts of colorful stuff. Today's Flowers Mellow Yellow Ruby Teusday

aloha,
these are wonderful photos, i loved scrolling to your previous posts - you've done some fantastic hikes....thanks for sharing them jill
Pretty little blooms! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful photos!
The last blue one is my favourite!
These make me feel so warm and toasty on a cold morning in Virginia. Lovely shots Jill, thanks for sharing.
Kudos on more great shots! I especially love the prickly pear blossoms!
It's -22C here this morning...these shots are a nice reminder that spring is waiting!
I love the violet bell one! Great shots of lovely flowers!
Beautiful shots! I love the red bulbs.
Mine's here.
I particularly like the shot of the cactus fruits! Well done indeed! L
I can never figure out the yellow sunflower-type blooms. There are so many of them.
All the photos are lovely. Surprising to see so many blooms in September. Our blooms here are mostly gone by then.
A beautiful collection of photos! Love the rich gold flowers in the first one!
Lovely flowers... Beautifully captured :)
Gorgeous flowers!
Happy MYM.

you really have a fantastic strolling and shots.
Thanks for sharing these. We are going hiking in the park for one week at the end of February and I'm not sure what to expect! I'd love to see cactus blooming.
lovely flowers i love the yellow one have time to visit my entry HERE
I love all your photos, so beautiful. Happy MYM.
Aren't bluebells wonderful, they bloom in the unlikeliest of places like high in the mountains, in dry deserts and on a very thin crust of earth in Iceland. After lichens, moss and a few grasses, harebells are the first flowers to colonise the crust between fumaroles.
Pretty flowers perfect for MYM!
I was born in W. Tx-- my W. Tx grandmother always made prickly pear jelly each fall-- us kids always called it sticker jelly.
gorgeous photos!
Some nice shots to share Jill.
Those are some beautiful shots! Thanks for sharing. :)

There is an artistic beauty in all of nature. The artist captures the shape and color of the unique flora - and the composition of each frame stands on its own as beautiful!
Texas is beautiful when it's in bloom!
It tickles me for you to admit that you can't name all the wildflowers you see! If an expert like you can't, I don't feel so bad about myself! I mostly just enjoy their beauty without a clue of what they're called. (I do try to learn, but often without success.)
Wonderfull image, the 2nd one is very nice!
love the flowers! i personally love the yellow ones ;-)
Mellow Yellow
Beautiful shots.
I played too. Mine are here and here.
They are all so pretty!
