Can anyone help with this violet? Seen on a dry foothills ridge at about 7,000 ft (2130 m) in Colorado Front Range. Our usual yellow violet here...
Don't give up completely-- these crustose forms are the toughest to ID. You'll probably have better luck if you look for identification of...
Okay, Kia, here are a few pics of the little guy. The second one shows new growth on the branches at 11, 2, and 3 o'clock, and that bud that...
I'd love to have another if I didn't have to spend another $99.95 (plus shipping) for it! <grin> I am "sharing" this one with a local dinosaur...
Wow, what a discussion! (I'm been gone a long while...) My Wollemi baby arrived Dec 2006, very cute as someone said, but quiescent for a long...
Definitely a lichen, but I'm not sure it's either the Rhizoplaca melanophthalma or the Xanthoria... Any chance it fell onto the deck, or is it...
Re: Douglas-fir submission Daniel-- just wanted to share these two photos of Douglas-fir cones taken May 7th. I can send larger images if...
It's just Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii, but it looked grand at Eldorado Canyon, Colorado, on our hike May 7th. Two stages of male and female...
Can you give us more of a description? I'd say it looks like a lichen, but the photo isn't clear enough to be sure. Any structures, like does the...
Yup... hyacinth... Great that you're excited, Paulina!! Enjoy the fragrance when it blooms (if I'm remembering right).
Thanks, Kildale! It's just that so few lichens have common names, so good that you are able to find some. I hadn't thought of googling specific...
Great lichen page, Kildale! I'd like to link to it from my lichen site, http://coloradolichens.org if it's okay with you. Where did you get the...
How about a hyacinth? As long as we're still shooting in the dark? <grin>
Thanks, Marn. It does look at bit like that one, as well as like the one Junglekeeper suggested. Will try to find out more (clearly there's a lot...
Thanks, Junglekeeper! It does look a lot like D. milnei. I can't find a picture of D. oiantha. (Yet.) So... Apocynaceae, I gather! <grin> Oh...
Agreed that it's not S. morganianum... but I can't remember its name!! Maybe it'll come to me. Mine, by the way, is doing very well as a hanging...
This may not be one, but is definitely in that family (Asclepiadaceae). I got the mother of this little one about 35 years ago from the greenhouse...
Sorry, Annie-- I had "no idea" as you said. I had missed the first photo, which is the best. It seems like it could be a species of Graphis or...
Daniel, it appears from the maps in Lichens of NA that L. linita occurs farther inland that L. oregana, if we can go on the maps. Also, he doesn't...
Re: red lichen (?) Annie-- do you have a scanner? Is it flat enough you could get us an image that way?
