We took a hike at Lair O'the Bear, elevation ~6,600', this morning. The pasque flowers (Pulsatilla patens) and biscuit root (Lomatium orientale) are in bloom right now. The Oregon grape/holly grape Mahonia repens is starting to bloom. American dippers were in Bear Creek. It's still pretty early for the flowers.
This blog began with the wildflower blooming season in 2010. I post randomly-whenever we get out to look at flowers. I am located in Jefferson County, Colorado, and that is primarily where the information for this blog originates. Thanks to my three dogs who need long daily walks and who like to explore all our area parks. Without them, I wouldn't get out as often.
