When we arrived in the "high country" it was very early spring. The aspen trees did not have leaves and the forest understory was bare. I was worried it was going to stay that way. Six weeks later, we have lots of greenery and a few wildflowers are starting to bloom. I need to learn patience. Beware, some wildflowers have secrets.
Tiny Prairie Fleabane... looks like an aster, but it is related to a daisy
Meadow Pinks or Pinks or Spinks--the brightest flower right now...and it's related to a carnation.
Cypress spurge or Spurge--sometimes called graveyard weed. It's a toxic weed, that can cause allergies upon touching it. Touch at your own risk.
Black Henbane is sometimes called
Stinking Nightshade and that means it's poisonous.
