Photo - Spring: Globe Flower and Marsh Marigold
Globe Flower (Trollius albiflorus)
Marsh Marigold (Psychrophila leptosepala)
The Globe Flowers, Marsh Marigold, and Glacier Lily (not pictured) were all over the banks lining the streams in IP Wilderness. It was a bit early to get up to Diamond Lake, still too much snow. The hike was not without its rewards, however. In particular, I enjoyed the Glacier Lilies but, of course, the photos came out blurry. Perhaps I need a lesson on using my camera... or maybe I need to revert to manual focus 35mm.
Taken: May, 2006: Diamond Lake Trail, Indian Peaks Wilderness, Colorado

Photo - Spring: Heartleaf Arnica
This is one of my favorite flowers for no good reason, other than I just think it's nice looking.

Photo - Spring: American Pasqueflower
South Dakota's state flower, American Pasqueflower - The last photo is of the Pasqueflower after it has gone to seed. I didn't recognize it as such when I took the photo, and had actually given up on identifying it.
