The early finish allowed fetching the car during daylight hours. I took the opportunity to work on the ever-unfinished Zion wildflower catalog. But first, a few flora from the West Rim trail area, near where we re-gained the trail from Telephone. There was a bit of a riparian area, and a few interesting flowers there. Hooker's Onion Allium acuminatum Lily Family (Liliaceae)

Uinta Groundsel Senecio multilobatus Sunflower Family (Asteraceae)

These 'gentlemen' were somewhat surprised to learn that what they were doing was vandalism, but I must say, they did set enthusiastically to work erasing their 'work' when I suggested it would be a good idea.

Went up to Lava Point to fetch the car in the middle of the afternoon. Took some flower pictures at the Wildcat Canyon Trailhead. Some yellow flower. Let's call it Zion Yellow Mystery Flower #1. Brandt? Dave? Sue? TW?
