Wyoming wildflowers - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

even though it's pretty dry across the country right now, there were a surprising number of wildflowers in bloom in jackson hole and bondurant/hoback and nearby valleys. I took lots of snapshots of everything since I left my tripod in my car back in nj (would have cost me what it was worth to carry it on the plane(s) )

lovely lupines! these are native to wyoming, and wonderfully fragrant

pinedrops. this was the first thing I saw when I went into the woods
near teton village. there were quite a few of these very tall, robust
and parasitic plants. they are quite rare in ny state, but don't think
they are rare in wyoming

the wyoming thistle is more colorful than the similar one found
in new york state

this isn't really a wildflower but a dried grass found along many of
the roads around bondurant

more in next window

fireweed

harebell; beautiful, but a pretty tough wildflower

Looks like a great trip Charles. I love western wildflowers and what a setting to see them in!

In my travels, everytime we go to the other side of the Mississippi R., I fell like we are part of the food chain, when we lose sight of the automobile.
Wish we were packing some heat on some of those walks.

Started hunting at 11 years old with a gun, never felt in danger.

Beautiful photos , thanks for posting.
Would it be nice if we just have the right size of lawns for whatever we need , an organic vegetable garden with fruit trees & the rest of the land is like what in these photos, instead of spending time mowing lawns, put tons of artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides that leaching out into our water source that will give us cancers & other illness .

I smile the entire time mowing my lawn.
