cuyama valley, ca 2005
Thistle Sage flowers grow aggregated in several balls along their 2-3 ft stems. A member of the mint family and a variety called Chias, these wildflowers were an important food source to Native Americans who mixed water with milled seeds to make a nutritous gruel.
Seems like an easy straight forward photograph to capture, difficult rating was a "10". The wind is rarely calm in these open spaces, Flowers atop long spindly stems are especially prone to blur.
