Colorado: Wildflowers In The Rockies - July 26th

Part two of our hike on the Dillon Reservoir Ridge Trail is about wildflowers in the Rockies. They are so pretty! I got a few good shots of them on our hike the other day. They seem to be past their prime, but I wanted to show them to you, anyway. Now, I certainly don't know the names of all of them, so I'll name the ones I can....

Asters

Prairie Rose

I can't find the name of this one. I love it, though.

Alpine Sunflowers with Alpine Avens on the left side.

Penstemon or Larkspur?

 Alpine Yarrow

Mariposa Lily Flower

Golden Asters, I think.

  

Asters

Fireweed, up close.

Thistle

Colorado Columbine

I may need to buy a field guide. I thought it would be easier to identify these flowers. I'll keep searching and update, when I know.

Talk soon,

Laurie
