One of the wildflowers at San Jacinto Wildlife Area was the Fiddlenecks. Although they grow in the vacant lot in my neighborhood, I'd never tried to photograph them. I like their curled stem tips with the flowers. They are in the Borage Family, and are sometimes called Rancher's Fireweed. 3/28/19 Judith Sparhawk
At the Lavender Festival, out in the lavender fields there was an occasional Datura plant. This was a flower on one of the plants. I liked the nice purple tinge on the edges of the petals. Also known as Thorn Apple and Jimson Weed. Either way, it is poisonous.
It's that time of year for the Jimson Weed to be in flower, and I found these purple-tinged blooms at Whitewater Canyon Preserve yesterday. So often they are pure white--very pretty--but the purple ones are my favorite.
