a nice evening ride to see the flowers.

diggin' on the flora.
i belive this would be called a galaxy of columbines!
penstemon barbatus
mystery flower - any clues?
monarda - wild oregano
a loco weed close-up. what a cool color!
ripping scultz!
pinedropseed - a saprophyte. no photosynthesis, it breaks down rotting material for energy.
scarlet gilia.
any clues on this one?


went for a nice quick evening ride up dogfood and down schultz creek a couple of nights ago just to see the flowers, and they were sweet! i was really tired but pried my ass out of the chair and went anyway and i was super glad i did. hope you enjoy the pics! steve.

Beautiful pics, as always, Steve!

My wife and I will be up there in 3 weeks, staying in a little KOA Kabin for a few days. Bringing the tandem...we'll swing by and get some trail tips from ya. (I've never ridden Flag...!)

Keep on keepin' on.

that little yellow flower was a new one to me too, steve. saw some along red onion the other morning. i took a picture of it and submitted it to the 'ID Please' group on flickr.com. so far, no one's id'd for me... i'll drop you a note if I get any hits on it.

hey steve,

took awhile to figure it out... but, the little yellow flower (last image your post) is called MANYFLOWER PUCCOON.

hope you're well!
