ReplyDeleteHow do you know so much about flower names? Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at the variety of flowers- shape, color, etc.
ReplyDeleteYour walk was certainly full of beauty.
I love the alpine wildflowers. A whole meadow is quite breathtaking. MB
ReplyDeleteI love that you named the flowers Linda, I need to get a guide book to wild flowers. I always stop to pick a flower and stick it in a book to keep while hiking.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to get tiger lilies for the yard..that Lewis Monkey flower is lovely..and that's valerian? Well I need to get up there, summer flowers abound now, I see..
I think what is even more impressive than your lovely flower shots is that you actually know the names of all of them!
