An early August trip to Colorado featured biking, kayaking, a drive through a mountaintop snow squall, and some hiking. In a day hike along the mountain full of trails, the camera caught the blooming meadows that come alive at that time of year. This is the vegetation that I found along the trail hike. Many of these are not familiar to me, so these are without many labels.
The ox-eyed daisy (one of many names it is given) grows wild here in the UK too but we have some planted on our plot. It flowers for an incredibly long period and is a very long lasting cut flower.
I do not receive compensation, merchandise, or gifts associated with my gardening or in the writing of this blog (probably because no one wants to send me anything.) Nor do I pay to belong to organizations that bestow awards and honoraria. Opinions expressed are my own, and are not requested or paid for. Photos and content are original, unless noted otherwise.
I love Colorado in the summer, but I am not sure I would feel the same way in winter.
ReplyDeleteYup. Lots of outdoor summer things to do, but not much rain for lush gardens.
