 This is the same patch again with the flowers in bloom. Photo taken May 16. |
 By the second week of May, many of the blooms are open and many plants are still just reaching the bud stage. |

 During a dry year the "blephies" are rarely branched and only get about 4-5 inches high. |
 This and the next picture were taken in a year where we had an abundance of rain. |
 The color was richer, the plants were multi-branched, and were about 6-8 inches tall. |

 Found on hillside between Highway 97 and Link River. I found another patch in the open area behind the Winema Nat'l Forest offices. |
 By June 20, almost all the flowers have gone to seed and the majority have turned brown. |
 Early August found the occasional gasping, determined bloom. I took this and the next picture on August 28. |
 There are no survivors left at all and I had to look carefully to make sure these were not Lagophyllas. |
