Happy Bluesky Monday! Photo taken May 31, 2025, near the town of Platina, Northern California, of a California Compassplant flower. It’s a food source, has medicinal uses, and dyes have been extracted from the plant since time immemorial. #photography #nature #BlueSkyMonday #wildflowers #landback

Posted especially for Mike’s mother. Photo taken on May 31, 2025, near the town of Platina, Northern California, of a California Compassplant. This plant fascinates me, as it has flowers within the main flower. Smile if you see them. #wildflowers #photography #nature #sunflowers

Posted especially for Mike’s mom. Photo taken June 14, 2025, near Pony Buck Peak, Trinity County, Northern California of a California Compassplant flower being inspected by a very large bee. These bees were not aggressive, just busy with all the flowers. #wildflowers #nature #photography

THIS WAS ONE BIG BEE! Photo taken on June 14, 2025, in Northern California of a large bee enjoying a California Compassplant flower. I was very careful not to upset the bee, but it was so focused on the flower, it did not notice me being there. #wildflowers #photography #nature #Bees

Photo taken on July 5, 2025, near Knob Peak, Shasta County, Northern California of a California Compassplant seed head. After the plant is pollenated, the seeds start to develop and as the seeds mature, the flower head dries causing the petals to fall off. #photography #nature #wildflowers

I don't think I ever saw/noticed how the leaves on the compass plants curl so tightly around the stems early in the summer. 😍

Compass Plant - it took four years for it to bloom this well. The other one started blooming a year earlier, but we had a tree removed and this one gets more sun now. #CompassPlant #nativeplants
