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. | 0 | 05/10/2005 |

Sagebrush Buttercup | Another of the early Spring flowers, Sagebrush Buttercups. This one is emerging from under the snow. Photo taken by Lynne on 5/8/2005. | 0 | 05/10/2005 |

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 | 05/10/2005 |

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 | 05/19/2005 |

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! | 0 | 05/19/2005 |

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. | 0 | 05/19/2005 |

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"). | 0 | 05/19/2005 |

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 | 05/25/2005 |

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 | 05/26/2005 |

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. | 0 | 05/29/2005 |
