At Mt Shasta (not just flowers)

Plant IDs are... well, minimal. I didn't have a local flora with me and there are lots of possibilities for a number of these plants.



 
Cornus (probably not native)


 Forget me not


 Arctostaphylos sp.



 Black Butte


 completely unknown plant
(my best guess is Amelanchier utahensis, but I can't even be
sure about the family)


 Viola sp.
(I'm just too lazy to look up the sp.)


 
Ceanothus sp.
Quite a conundrum... the info I found doesn't place any
holly-leaved purple Ceanothus in the vicinity



 Some enormous alpine paintbrush (Castilleja) I'd warrant


 This view seemed to lend itself to sepia




 
 What little of Mt S. was out that day
