Ps. I am hoping someone with really awesome nature photos like @shasta or @bashadow will come to the rescue with some cool observations to stump us all... ;)
I took some flower pictures yesterday.
This was in one of the Top of the Hill Homer Pullout flower beds. I didn't take a picture of the pictures that tell about all the different flowers, so unless I make another trip down there I won't really know what it its.
It looks somewhat like a thistle type flower but is very soft, sorry no leaf pictures to go with I was trying to practice with my macro lens. It is an interesting spiky flower ball but not a sharp stick-you if you grabbed it spiky flower ball. That's about all I remember about it. Kind of like a giant sized chive flower, these were about two to two and a half inches around bigger than a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball.
On our next trip down I will try and remember to take a picture of the placard like I did last year, plus I am not sure if there was more of a bloom stage to it or not, and not having leaf pictures is not helping the matter either.
Me too!!!

Hi @bashadow! I'm probably wrong as I don't know that they grow in Alaska but it does resemble an Apache Plume. Whatever it is though, it is pretty!

Looks like it is blooming to me, but a totally awesome close up shot! Thanks again...
Wow! That is a beautiful photo! Looks like the flowers are blooming really well! Spring has sprung! No clue what it is though...
Thanks a million for stopping by and for this contribution and great description. Hopefully someone here can help?
