Two close-up images of
the flower of long-bearded mariposa lily as seen near Mt. Adams..........June
18, 2006. The flower of this species is lavender in color and more cup-shaped
than that of the
subalpine mariposa lily (
C.
subalpinus) which is cream-colored. It is smaller than that of the
green-banded mariposa lily (
C. macrocarpus)
which could potentially be found in the same habitat.
