Actually used the wildflower report on the DVNP website to get the information on these Lilies. They were on the way to the Charcoal kilns in Wildrose Canyon. Right around the Skidoo Pipeline display. Higher up the Panamint Lupines are blooming, but I don't know how long they last.

Wow, Paul. I like #1...but #2 is simply a spectacular find! I don't remember ever seening a color combination like that before. It looks like fireworks exploding. Very unique!
And I didn't realize that Panamint Lupine and Indian Paintbrush could form a hybrid bush like that!
A good find, Paul. Of the two, I prefer the second.
I''m headed to the Eastern Sierra tomorrow for a few
days. I hope that I find some images like this.
One more thing, Paul, you’ll notice I did not use the ‘H” word here. That’s because I also feel there are scenes where direct sunlight can produce stunning results. A good example is illustrated in Ian Plant’s article in the latest addition of PopPhoto magazine:
The one thing I feel would improve both of these images is to somehow isolate the subjects from the sharp, high-contrast BG’s using shallow DOF. Unfortunately in these cases, doing this with the lily would require pruning shears. And unless a much lower angle was possible, it appears that doing it with the lupine and paintbrush would require a bulldozer!
