We saw this beautiful, light pink wildflower while hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park last summer. It was just exquisite!
I never posted it because I couldn’t identify it. I love the long, delicate pistil and stamens. Have you ever seen a wildflower like this?
Do you know what kind of wildflower it is?

This flower or group of flowers remind me of the ballet. Somewhat reminiscent of Degs ballerinas. Lovely!
Shared this pic over on google plus, and heard back that this might be a Brook Saxifrage. Pg165 of Guide to Colorado Wildflowers, Vol 2 by G. K. Guennel, thanks to Colorado photographer Mike Howard.
What a gorgeous, gracious and delicate treasure, Mel. Bless you for sharing it. Sorry to say that I am not good at coming up with names for nature’s treasures.
Thanks, Jeff. I’ll have to find a copy of that wildflower book and check it out. It’s one that I don’t have. Thanks so much!
