Two X-words, XERIC and XANTHOPHYLLS apply, as the foreground flowers, being yellow, are almost certainly packed with xanthophylls. Scan from a chrome.

Just lazy (=euphemism for not being alert).
But look! I have a "Z" image that's not a zebra, nor a zipper, nor a sleeping cat (z-z-z-z-z).
It's Zizia which is blooming profusely hereabouts. Should get enough images of it to make everyone beg for a zebra.

Ground pine: AKA: princess pine; correctly: Lycopodium, from a group of plants that flourished in the Carboniferous 300+ millions years back.
