A Mariposa lily from a hike in Henry Coe park yesterday. #wildflowers #hiking #mariposalily #photography
This is a Mariposa lily I found on my hike today at Henry Coe park, southeast of San Jose, California. It is my favorite local wildflower. #hiking #photography #wildflowers #mariposalily

Whenever I’m in the West I love finding mariposa lilies. This is a desert mariposa lily, Calochortus kennedyi.

Spotted this mariposa lily today. There was just a single, solitary bloom and no foliage so it stood out amid all the other sagebrush type plants in the area.

I think it’s a Sego lily which is native to this region.

Lost Coast: Cooskie Creek Route

King Range National Conservation Area. Finding a way along the Cooskie Creek Route, which is easier on the second try. Long grand views.
