Not magic, me! I saw that you had created another spotting for it, so I thought I would help you out and delete it from this spotting.
AmberLundeen
And now it has magically disappeared from this entry! lol

yea I'm having trouble with the Iphone app - it mixes up the photo postings - I have a separate entry and I'm trying how to delete the photo from this entry.

Ok, I see you have created a spotting for it, thats great.
Dan Doucette
No, the flower is a passionflower. Amber, you should create a separate spotting for this flower.

I think I've seen these before, very cool. That flower isn't from the same tree, is it?

I think this is a ponderosa pine. Pinus ponderosa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_ponderosa. The photo on the wikipedia page doesn't match very closely, but there are better matches on google images.
