Orange & Purple

Clustered Thistle & visitor ~ Cirsium brevistylum

Yarrow

Yarrow ~ Achillea millefolium

I don’t know if it’s because of the elevation (this is growing at about 5,000 feet) or if there is another factor, but the Yarrow that I have seen in this particular location seems to look more robust and show more character and detail than what I have found at the valley level.
