Sprung
Spring feels early this year in Northern California. I took this picture of a Scoliopus bigelovii in Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco, on 15 Jan. It looks like an orchid - enough to take me in at a fence-enforced four-foot remove - but it’s actually a member of the Liliaceae (lily family).
It’s not really germane to anything, just a pretty flower to look at.
Look at the pretty flower! Look, damn you! Look!

Yup. It sure is a flower. mmhmm. Crap!!! wait a second. Since beauty is a transcendental a priori AND nobody posted, then mabye the feeling of beauty is not as public as suggested by your description of it. The one on the left kinda looks like predator with it’s mask off (minus the teeth + dredlocks). Personally, I think it’s as pretty as most monocots; although, I eat most of the monocots I know… so perhaps I’m persuaded to like it because of corn and catgrass.

I can’t believe you eat monocots. My great-grandmother was a monocot.
