| The Rock Fringe has a unique and special color.
It grows in large groupings near the end of the flower season. When
it sits next to the Sierra Primrose, there is an amazing show of similar
but different colors. Notice the four branches of the stigma
indicating that the flower parts are in fours. |

| California Fuchsia graces both highway 50
and 89 near the Lake. It is brightly colored in a magnificent
orange color near the end of the flower season. |
 |
| Fireweed announces the end of the flower season.
It is found as far north as Alaska. The plants are most striking
after the blooms fade with reddish stems and cotton puff balls sending
the seeds off to new sites. |
