The water received this spring and early summer has resulted in one of the best wildflower displays in years. Most of the colors are out, red/oranges, yellows. violets, purples, blues and of course white.Marlys is attempting to ID the flowers, but my phone camera is falling down on the job.
The only flowers wilting out so far are the Rocky Mountains Loco's, but they seem to be being replaced by the purple Colorado hybrid Loco's.
The Lupines have also sprouted. I thought lupine had something to do with wolves (Harry Potter), not plants.
The entire valley is green, which is great to see. Those of you around here in the 2001-2002 time remember how gray the ground color was due to the drought and how the scrub oaks didn't even leaf out.
