My guiding thought:
“One way to open your eyes to unnoticed beauty is to ask yourself, ‘What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?’”

This gorgeous beetle deserves a name appropriate to both its beauty and its toxicity.

Spot the Spider?

For an afternoon hour, around two o’clock, I might have taken over a hundred photographs of Whitedaisy Tidytips. Some had visitors. All were covered with raindrops and snowmelt.

#InverteFest
#BloomScrolling
A large patch of Whitedaisy Tidytips next to a rock. The sky is storm from rain and snow showers. There’s a spider among the wildflowers. From Wikipedia: This is an annual herb producing an erect stem to a maximum height just over one-half meter (1 ft 8 in). The stem and foliage are dotted with dark glandular hairs and the plant is sometimes scented. The thin leaves are linear to oval-shaped, with the lower ones often lobed, approaching 10 centimeters (4 in) in maximum length. The flower head has a base of green, hairy, glandular phyllaries. The face is fringed with 3–14 (typically 5) broad, 3-lobed ray florets which are usually white, but sometimes yellow. The center contains yellow disc florets with yellow anthers. The fruit is a hairy achene; fruits on disc florets have a pappus of stiff white hairs.

1/2 🌱Fitting for #TinyFlowerTuesday a tiny flower suddenly appeared, one that I have never seen before! After googling for half an hour I found its name, Layia platyglossa. How I ended up with an American wildflower - no idea. The seed must have somehow ended up in the wrong package.
Close-up of Layia platyglossa or coastal tidytips. Bright yellow daisy-like flower with white tips. Layia platyglossa or coastal tidytips supported on a bamboo stick in a green container under a night jasmine. Gawler Sweet Pea "Marion" next to a blossom of Layia platyglossa or coastal tidytips to show how small the latter is in comparison.

Bloom reliably in cool spring weather
So beautiful that British gardeners help spread their popularity
