Here it is 2018, and I'm just now finding your blog. I would like a good guide to wildflowers and plants in this part of the Rocky Mountains and along the Front Range. I really enjoy your commentary for the places you visit, along with dates, so that I can follow a similar trail. I don't want to publish my email address, so I'm hoping you will be able to post here. I don't know how else to contact you.
