SO MANY small cool things. SO MANY.
The tiniest mosslet!
![A wee tiny tuft of moss, not even half an inch across, on a weathered & partly burnt fallen log.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_151648.jpg)
Really astonishingly bright flowers.
![Long flowers, like tubes with trumpet bells on the end. They're a vigorous orange-red.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_152526.jpg)
I mean. LOOK at this thing.
![A close view of one of the flowers. The tube splits into five narrow, pointy petals, which are speckled with pale orange spots.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_152526-1.jpg)
Yarrow.
![A close view of a yarrow flower -- a bunch of tiny white five-petalled flowers clustered together.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_152748_001.jpg)
Also, deer poop.
![Lil round brown pellets. Hey, flowers need fertilizer.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_152832.jpg)
Bright yellow flowers that I feel like I should recognize. They’re probably Astericae of some sort.
![Each flowers has several oblong petals surrounding a round middle bit. Yeah, they look like daisies.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_152943.jpg)
Really cool, almost certainly not edible seedpods.
![Tall green stalks, each topped with two seed pods joined in a seam along the center.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_153122.jpg)
Ponderosa bark weathers in puzzle pieces & it’s SO COOL. Also they smell kinda like piney vanilla.
![Deeply weathered ponderosa pine bark. It's mostly a pale orangish tan, & it weathers into thin, oddly-shaped layers that peel off & look like puzzle pieces.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_153804.jpg)
These look like tiny tiny mullein but they’re not.
![Tiny low-growing plants with fuzzy-looking, grey-green leaves.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_154414.jpg)
I saw these plants, thought I knew what they were, & was entirely wrong! Ideas?
![The flowers are purple but also blurry, but the leaves are clear -- each petiole springs from the stem & ends with a cluster of long, narrow, bright green leaves in rosettes.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_155838.jpg)
They also have cool seed pods, but they’re not like the other cool seed pods.
![These seed pods are single ones, not joined like the others, & each sticks out from the stem on a short petiole instead of sticking straight up.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/20200714_155854.jpg)
So many cool tiny things!
