Western anemone - Pulsatilla occidentalis
Happy New Years! I wish you a healthy and prosperous 2011.
This week's Photohunt theme is Fuzzy. I suspect that many of us have a fuzzy head today after drinking lots of fuzzy beverages last night. I could not resist a chance to highlight a few fuzzy flower pictures.
One of my favorite fuzzy flowers is the seed head of the Western anemone - Pulsatilla occidentalis. These seedheads dot the meadows of the Cascades in August. There are several funny names for the seed heads - "Mouse on a stick" is my favorite.
Here are a few other fuzzy flowers from the archives.
Fuzzy Cactus
Fuzzy seeds heads of a clematis
Flowers of a fuzzy Marrubium (Horehound)
Fuzzy Salvia "Purple Rain"

Hi Marta, Happy New Year. I love your collection of fuzzy flowers. Your close-ups are so sharp and you can really see the fuzziness to the flowers. Beautiful.
Have a great first day of 2011. :)

I remember those white fuzzy cacti, ad we were so tempted to touch them and get stung.
You done a great job with fuzzies.

These are beautiful flowers. The salvia and the cactus are very sharp images. Amazing how these flowers can grow in the desert.
