Wild Iris
wild lily of the valley
A small plant which grows in patches around my home. The wildflower guide book says to 2 feet high, but the key word is “to”. Most around my home are six to eight inches high with a long cluster of tiny white flowers lasting briefly in early June.
It’s been a cool June so far with rain and low temperatures. The cloudy days are just right for photographing wildflowers.

currant abundance
A hummingbird sips nectar from a wild currant flower amid the multitude of tiny pink flowers covering the bushes. Too dark a day for wing stopping shutter speeds, I opt for a wing blurring speed and find the resulting transparency of the wing make this a favorite image of recent days.
May’s Wet Spring Snow
At six thirty this morning the sun lit up lions head for a few minutes before the clouds closed in again. It’s been cloudy the rest of the day and is snowing again tonight as I write this.
pasque flowers or mountain crocus
These wildflowers are among the first to bloom in the spring in my area. Second only to a minute white wildflower around my house. These are a bit larger- generally 2 to 5 inches tall. I am happy to be able to join everyone celebrating spring with muddy knees and wildflower photography.
