These lovely flowers grow all over our property and I smile every time I see them because they are so pretty. Naturally, I couldn't stop taking pictures, and I hope you enjoy the series below!

Dwarf Checkerbloom has a group of over ten subspecies, all of which grow in the Pacific Northwest from Washington to Baja, California. Some species are cultivated as garden flowers and can be found for sale in seed form.

If you would like to know more about this flower, Wiki has a small source here: Wiki: Checkerbloom (Sidalcea malviflora)

By the way, I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!

Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
