These are usually secondary to identifying plant images, and were usually photographed incidentally or opportunistically when flowers were the main subject. Here's the "Lost Ladybug" link, in case you hadn't looked it up already: http://www.lostladybug.org/participate.php They do help with IDs as well.

The Chocolate Lily we have here is F. biflora. I should have put in the scientific names, but I have them elsewhere. I have a post about this plant, here: http://natureshutterbug.com/wordpress/2009/03/27/chocolate-lily-fritillaria-biflora/ No, I did not know about the Lost Ladybug Project. I would be happy to submit photos. I also submit bug photos to bugguide.net, where they help with ids - otherwise I would be clueless. http://bugguide.net/node/view/363867 http://bugguide.net/node/view/363865 Lynn. Thanks.

I was trying to figure out the emerging leaves in the image after the probable Sisyrinchium without any luck, until I read your instructions on how to view the captions. The only Fritillaria I am familiar with is affinis, and didn't recognize the relationship to your chocolate lilies. F. biflora? Do you know about the Lost Ladybug Project? They solicit observations and photos about ladybird beetles and would doubtless appreciate submission of your recent images and associated data. Cheers! More excellent work!

The silktassel pictures are stunning. This weekend I was on Sierra Madre road and could see the ocean looking one direction and the snowy High Sierra peaks looking the other.
