Last Saturday's hike was a great one for wildflowers, and the falls were flowing, which isn't a given around here. Also, the pool below the falls was full, and flowing out the other side, which I have not seen before, and I have been on this hike maybe five or six times.
So I give you some highlights of the flowers...
Geranium fremontii, I think
Wild flax
Clematis hirsutissima
Wild rose
Spiderwort
Evening primrose
(I don't know these, and I don't know if this is scenery or flora....)Of some scenery...
Serious field of gold
The backyard where we get to play.

Lovely flora! We had a nice walk today - only 80 degrees and cloudy! In June! In the desert! It was a gift!

ReplyDeleteWow, it's lovely and green there right now. I had heard you had plenty of moisture so far. Looks like a great hike. I never went up to Horsetooth Falls. I always loved what I called "wild" geraniums.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And I'm impressed with the Latin, no one I know evens knows that plants have Latin names.
