Wildflower Friday!

For Flower Friday, Shyla will show you a few of the flowers that we saw in Crested Butte! Here, Shyla is standing among crimson Indian Paintbrush. I love their bright color.

While we were there, the wild Columbines were blossoming on scree slopes high in the mountains.

I've never seen so many all together.

Look at the endless beautiful wildflowers!

These were along a trail that went out of our campsite. We walked it every day!
I hope that you all still have flowers (if you live in the Northern Hemisphere). We're trying to get out to see the ones still blooming up high!

    I've never seen such pale wild Columbine. They're beautiful. I love the fuschia Paintbrush. There are meadows of them on Peak 8.

    Back when I tried to garden at our old house, we had columbines. So pretty and so easy!

    Down here spring bulbs are flowering, daffs, snowdrops, tulips growing, Dutch iris with tall spiky leaves, your wildflowers are truly gorgeous.

    Love those columbine!
    This is a season when there are lots of wildflowers in New England, in different combinations as the summer progresses. The joe pye weed is blooming now, which I always think of as marking a sort of turning point...though the way the weather has been lately, who knows? We may still be having "summer" in the middle of November!
