Cat's eyes or popcorn flowers: Cryptantha

Species in this genus:

Thicksepal catseye (Cryptantha crassisepala)

Overview of Cryptantha crassisepala, commonly called hidden flower or thick sepal cats eye. Pictures from the Falls Trail in Bandelier National Monument. Cryptantha crassisepala occurs between 3500 and 6500 ft (1067–1981 m). Note the curved appearance of the right hand bloom stalk, which reminds me slightly of some of the scorpion weeds.
