Blooms along the hiking trail look like rockets blasting off.

A hike along the Southern Oregon Coast led us down to the beach where yellow flowers bloomed under the shelter of driftwood.

The purple bloom of an artichoke resembles a sea anemone from an ocean tide pool.

I stumbled upon these brightly colored mystery plants while on a morning walk in my neighborhood.
