Description:

Calochortus amabilis—golden globelily. "We have no more charmingly graceful flower than the yellow globe-tulip. . . .There is a certain quizzical look about these flowers—something akin to the inquiring look of Diogenes, as he thrust his lanter into all sorts of out-of-the-way places in broad daylight."—Mary Elizabeth Parsons, _The Wild Flowers of California_. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
