last summer there were so many beautiful wildflowers at the cabin. i set off on a fact finding mission to name as many as i could. and made a silly contest out of my favorite flower, the sego lily. at the cabin this year the flowers were completely different and some that i had not seen before. however, richard j. shaw, author of the infamous cabin coffee table book wildflowers of grand teton and yellowstone national parks had them all mapped out for me. these flowers came as no surprise to him. been there done that. how about you? care to take a guess on the names of these lovely ladies?

ReplyDeleteThey are SO pretty. I have no idea what any of them are, but they are so pretty! :) LOVE wildflowers!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE wild flowers! The first one is a hardy geranium (Cranesbill). The second one looks like pussytoes. The third one is baptisia (false indigo) And I don't know the fourth. Almost everything I know about flowers I learned from my mother, an amazing gardener.
