Camas Stalk

I had a hard time choosing which of my camas shots I liked better so one will be in my main album and the other in my extras.
These have quite a story- first historically the local Indian tribes used the bulbs of these beauties as sweetener and a staple carbohydrate. Secondly, at this time of year when we drive to the valley there are fields filled with them so one day Jim and I stopped and he dug up several and brought them home to our garden which is almost entirely filled with native plants. They have since naturalized and we have several of them blooming. I think they are gorgeous.
Very beautiful detail of this delicate flowers. Your garden must be amazing. How nice to collect native plants.

Both are gorgeous, but I like this best. Nice diagonal, plenty of detail and color, and a very pleasing background.

I like this one a tiny bit better. I think it's the overall focus of this one that does it for me.
