The cup plants have decided to pop open their flowers. In a week there will be a couple hundred of these yellow flowers in the yard, along with a fleet of bees harvesting pollen.

The image originally associated with this post was lost when I deleted my Flickr account. I've searched but I do not have a copy of the photo in any of my archives. I believe I took it with the Flickr app on my iPhone and it didn’t save a copy to the Camera Roll. I deleted my Flickr account when Yahoo! bought them and didn’t realize I was "hot linking" some of those photos on my blog. My last hope was Internet Archive, but the Wayback Machine excluded Flickr photos from archival. 😞
