My buddy Carl took me to two cyp sites today I had not seen before. He said I needed another installment in the cyp trip series.

The first one was absolutely astonishing. I had never seen the density of plants before and there were many individual plants forming huge clumps. I counted 48 flowers in one clump. The only down side to this trip is that the flowers are well past there prime in most cases.

The next two photos are individual plants forming large clumps

The second site was much smaller, a couple of hundred plants perhaps. Most of these were passed their prime also. The surprise for me here was that sprinkled among normal sized flowers were a few giants.

I didn't have a way to measure the flowers so I put my 60 mm lens cap next to one of the larger ones.
