Calochortus tolmiei, or pussy ears, get their common name from their remarkable resemblance to the ears of a cat. If that cat was purple and white. :)
They grow everywhere around here and bloom in early May. The fields and forests are dotted with them this time of year and they are so delicate and pretty.

Not Irish at all, I'm first generation Norwegian American, and a bit of an extroverted recluse. You'll usually find me in Northern California at the tiny off-grid cabin I share with my husband Joe, our good dog Bodhi, and a black cat named Ninja and his tabby sister Ashi.
