There's two interesting things going on here: First are the flowers of Eriogonum umbellatum (sulphurflower buckwheat). The second are the clear glacial striations on the rock face dating the ice ages of the Pleistocene Epoch.

Hibiscus is such a fun word to say, and such a wonderful flower.

We were asked for #YellowFlowers for this week's #WildflowerHour and by happy chance I saw my first open Goat Willow of the year during my visit to the #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve at #LowerMoorFarm on Friday. #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
You know that spring is finding its way into the year when bumble bee queens are floating all around your garden.

Birch repetition (Betula)
Gray (B. populifolia)
Yellow (B. alleghaniensis)
White (B. papyrifera)
Find tree, identify, take photo, write down latin name. Balm for the soul. Repeat.
The other thing I've been doing, either up at launch while "parawaiting" for good weather or after I've landed while I'm waiting for the retrieve vehicle, is to snap photos for iNaturalist. I recently started using my mostly-dormant account for fun. I've probably got 60 or 70 different species observations to upload, mostly plants. And this is just what are probably considered common weeds around roadsides and farm fields. I got 20 new plant species this afternoon alone, plus this really cool beetle and spider.
