When Lon and I were in the Sonora Pass country we spent quite a bit of time wandering around this very moist meadow. The profusion of wildflowers and the very abundant Corn Lilies provided lots of opportunities.
Corn Lilies grow above 5,000 ft in the Sierra, although I have mostly seen them at higher elevations. Their true name is
California False Hellebore (Veratrum californicum) and they are a member of the lily family.
I am trying to ID the yellow and the white 'puff ball' flowers. If any one can ID them, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

6 commentsA lovely little garden setting. I like how you've composed and included the various elements and with the little flowers as color accents.
I think the color and contrast is spot on. I do get a sense though that this is in some filtered sunlight, although I know it not to be the case. We visit this meadow before the sun creeps over the ridge to the east and in fact when sun hits this place, it's time to move one. So I know there isn't direct sunlight here. Perhaps it's just the brightness? I mean this looks really good as is, it just looks like highlighy diffused sunlight; and no shadows to speak of either.
Anyway, I'm rambling. I like this a lot as presented with no nits or suggestions.

Sorry I cannot help with the plant life ID's. My natural world weakness is apparent with botany or flora items if you will....
I thought it was me, but after seeing Lon's, brightness?, point I might be tempted to turn down the gamma level in the Exposure layer. It just seems to be "hot" to me especially in the whites. Just a thought. Obviously the scene works, just the possible & subjective adjustments for your own review......
