No Damsel post yesterday; I had other priorities. So today I'm posting Days 4 and 5, side by side. You can see how pink, originally just a tinge on the outer petals, dominates as the flower ages.

The aphids are not gone, but are under control.

I had to cross a couple of skewers to prop the flower up, as it was nosing down and the weight was pulling the Damsel sideways. I am considering adding permanent supports to brace her.

Irises and checkerblooms, irises and poppies, and a cobwebby thistle, clockwise from left, yesterday on the Tomales Point Trail at Point Reyes.

Cobbywebbies weren't blooming yet, so I'll have to go back and walk the 4.5 miles again in a couple of weeks. Darn.
