Just as impressive as the birds and scenery in Winthrop last weekend were the wildflowers. Here are a few of the highlights.....
 |
| White campion (Silene latifolia) |
 |
| Small-flowered tiger lily (Lilium columbianum) |
 |
| Scarlet gilia (Ipomopsis aggregata) |
 |
| Rosy pussytoes (Antennaria rosea) |
 |
| Mountain lady's-slipper (Cypripedium montanum) - a rare orchid |
 |
| Elegant cat's ear (Calochortus elegans) |
 |
| Red columbine (Aquilegia formosa) |
 |
| Yellow salsify (Tragopogon dubius) |
 |
| Larkspur species (Delphinum sp.) |
I especially enjoyed seeing the white Lady Slippers. I have only seen the pink variety in the northeast woods.
