Larkspurs
I was paging through a field guide the other day and some dried leaves fell out. They were larkspur leaves, from species I came across last spring in California. Like so many wildflower species, there seems to be many, many more kinds of larkspur west of the Rockies than in the east. Actually, only three come to mind; two of them are spring bloomers.

Indian Warrior and Wood Betony: Cross-Country Cousins
Driving through the mountains of San Luis Obispo County, I came upon a recently burned area. It was a stark landscape, the kind of barren rugged slopes where mindless villagers could be spotted, relentlessly pursuing Frankenstein’s misunderstood monster. But green was spreading over the ground like pool table felt, and birds were tittering merrily in the emerging brush. And here and there I noticed feathery plumes of bright red jutting up from the ground as if a flock of redbirds were mooning the world.
