Phlox	This photo of Phlox was taken by Rick on 5/6/2005. It seems a bit early for Phlox, this was the only flowering plant we saw. I am unsure of the exact variety. They bloom in white, purple, and blue mostly along disturbed areas (like roadsides) around the cabin.	1 comments	802 views

Sagebrush Buttercups	Photo by Lynne on 5/6/2005. These flowers were under snow just a couple of days earlier. They are among the earliest wildflowers to bloom at the cabin.	0 comments	846 views
First Pink Plume of the Year	This photo was taken by Lynne on 5/18/2005. It is the first Pink Plume we’ve seen this year.	0 comments	657 views
Mertensia oblongifolia - Bluebell	Photo by Lynne on 5/18/2005. A small bright blue flower. We are not positive of the identification. All our flower books are at the cabin!	2 comments	727 views
Need Help on this One!	Photo by Lynne on 5/18/2005. We don’t know what this is or how much more it might bloom. The flower is about 4 inches tall. There are tiny, tiny yellow “flowers” all along the top.	1 comments	651 views
Will ID Tomorrow	Photo by Lynne on 5/18/2005. We need to look this one up. I’ll edit this entry when we figure it out. This is a purplish flower on the end of a fairly long stem (12”).	1 comments	552 views
Calypso Bulbosa	Also known as “Fairy Slipper”, this is a fairly rare mountain wildflower that is an orchid. This photo was submitted by Fred Johnson. He took the photo near Red Feather Lakes, probably sometime in mid-Summer. We get quite a few of these on the cabin land down near the creek. Thanks for Fred for this great photo!	0 comments	866 views
Stemless Evening Primrose	Another great photo from Fred Johnson. He is calling this a Stemless Evening Primrose. Photo taken along Sportsman Lake Road on May 23rd, 2005.	0 comments	817 views
Wood Violet	Rick learned a lesson on this one. He posted this photo and originally called it a Mountain Bluebell. After alll, it was blue and looked a lot like the Mountain Bluebells posted earlier. The lesson is to always check with Lynne! Shortly after posting it, Fred Johnson left a comment pointing out that it was a Violet, not a Bluebell. And, he was right and Lynne was mad at me for not checking with her…so, here it is a Wood or Blue Violet. Photo by Lynne on 5/27/2005.	1 comments	521 views
