Have a great day. This wildflower is called a Jack in the Pulpit. One of the birders showed me where this one flower was.

Ellen- I have heard of these flowers but until just now, have never seen one. They are gorgeus and worth to effort to find and photography. Love its unique shape and the colors. Your lighting and clarity are awesome and that DOF is outstanding. Gorgeous work and find my dear friend.Nancy (Peaches) Harker April 21, 2010
