I guess these are all wild flowers. They all seem to be growing wild anyway.

nice one

the purple are lupines, the pink "balls" are Owl s Clover. Where was this taken?

Appropriate title

The vertical repetition of the lipines and grasses really does give the effect of a woven tapestry.

location

Richard, I think it was called Crystal Ranch Rd (new road -- not on maps yet) on the right off of Ygnacio Valley Rd heading east, at the bottom of the hill after passing Cowel.

Very pleasing

This photo looks much better when viewed at 800 vs. 600 pixels width.

Silhouette

I particularly like the effect of the topmost lupine(s) against the sky. I think this photo would have been strengthened by a sky of deeper blue. --Anker

Wow

Great colors. Nice subject. Very tranquil setting. A polarizer may have helped to darken the blue in the sky.

Accents

Robin the purple accents along the normally dry, brown--sun drenched hills is makes for fine scene. I am convinced a slower film would have rendered an even richer colour palette. :-) Or, at least that is my wishfull thinking.
