The Wild Geranium is one of my favorite wildflowers in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. It is abundant and grows everywhere near the trails.
It is so delicate…I think the colors are just stunning! Have you ever seen one?
Spring is getting closer…
This Dreamy Duskywing butterfly was so pretty in Rocky Mountain National Park last summer.
It’s not a colorful butterfly, but so pretty in its own coloring.
Have you ever seen one?
I had to post something red for Valentine’s Day… so I found this red Indian Paintbrush wildflower that I saw in Rocky Mountain National Park last summer. I thought it was so pretty. I hope you like it!
A Happy Valentine’s Day to you all!
I think the Pearly Everlasting wildflower is one of the prettiest of the wildflowers in Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. When it starts to bud, it looks just like a shiny, white pearl. And then as it blossoms, the petals come out and it looks like a bouquet of pretty, little, delicate white wildflowers.
Have you ever seen a Pearly Everlasting wildflower?
We just love hiking the tundra in Rocky Mountain National Park. There is no experience like it!
I have only seen Mountain Death Camas wildflowers twice in Rocky Mountain National Park and both times up on the tundra.
I looked up on the internet why they are called Mountain Death Camas and it is because they are poisonous to both humans and wildlife, thus their name. Guess I’ll stay away from them!
The purple Venus Looking Glass wildflowers are gorgeous along the Riverwalk in Estes Park. They are everywhere!
Have you seen any purple Venus Looking Glass wildflowers along the Riverwalk this year?
The purple Columbine was gorgeous and abundant this summer up on the tundra in Rocky Mountain National Park!
Congratulations to Cynthia, the owner of Bear Necessities, a retail shop in Estes Park, for winning the America in Bloom Award. This is a citation for “quality, beauty and care of property.” The flowers outside of her shop are just exquisite!
It is always such a treat to walk around town in the summer and see all the beautiful flower gardens and the many planters on the street corners.
At Bear Necessities, they are especially gorgeous! What vibrant colors! Congratulations, Cynthia!
If you walk by Bear Necessities and Cubs near Bond Park in downtown Estes Park, be sure to stop by and say hi.
The orange, black and white Painted Lady butterfly is such a pretty butterfly on Black Canyon Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park!
