| Pink Peony |
I collected some grass from Golden Gate Park and brought it home to photograph it under more controlled conditions than I can get in the field. While I was at it, I shot a close-up of the colorful reproductive parts of the peonies my wife bought recently. The peonies were just tight little balls of pink petals until they opened up after a few days and revealed their inner selves.
As for the grass, I didn't try to collect everything, but I did want to represent the more common ones I see (except for Ehrharta erecta, a prolific invasive species that I quickly eradicate when it shows up in our garden). I got the same identification for each of these grasses from both PlanetNet and iNaturalist, so the names should be about right.
