Here is a photo of some penstemon I encountered while walking the dog. I decided to dedicate all my favorite wildflowers to my Brokie buddies, and I would like to start by dedicating the penstemon to Sheriff Roland because, well, there is no bunstemon!

Here are some shooting stars (the pink flowers) and I would like to dedicate these to Amanda (who reminds me of all things ethereal) and Lynne (for your beautiful pink jacket)!

When the flax blooms, it is a very special day for me. And that day has come! Here's my meadow as seen from my deck.



This flower could belong  to no one but Jack, wouldn't you agree?

Continuing with more pictures from the Rocky Mountains where Brokeback Mountain was based. I went for a hike last weekend and brought back a new crop of pictures. Here is one of a bridge over a rushing stream (there is a lot of snowmelt at this time of year, and the streams are full of water that is about 40 degrees)

There were so many blooming "chiming bells" that I imagined that if they were all ringing, I would be deaf!!

One of my favorite wildflowers, that is very rare down in the "lowlands" (7300 ft) where I live. Scarlet Gilia.
