You have prairies in your mountains?! I don’t think I’d care what the rose looked like as long as it had that wonderful fragrance!

Our weather here comes from the southwest. At the Idaho border (about 50 miles away) the clouds drop precipitation on the huge Bitterroot mountain range. Next they blow over the southern end of the Coeur d’Alenes before they reach the Clark Fork River valley in which I live. Next they cross the Cabinet Mountains and by that time there is little moisture left as they cross the area known as Camas prairie before they see the Mission valley and then reach the tall Mission Range. Camas Prairie isn’t very large, but it’s one of the driest regions in Montana.

Ah, yes, I believe that’s what they call a rain shadow. I learned that term spending time in Death Valley. 🙂

So pretty! We’re a little short on native roses here in Texas, but I was lucky to find a prairie filled with them in Missouri — nice pink ones, like this. Identifying species is hard, but I broke down and bought a couple of flower and grass ID books for Kansas and Missouri, so I may be able to at least find a couple of options.

Luckily, here the Burke Museum website from the University of Washington covers most of this area as well as Washington state and it’s helpful, but I’m, still often puzzled about which is which.

I agree, roses can be tough to identify but this one’s beautiful no matter what its name.

It is. I’m more concerned with the beauty of the flowers, in most cases, than their Id’s.

Thanks! Finding and photographing the wildflowers has become a passion. They are so pretty and I want to make their photos available to those who like wildflowers but can’t always see them growing.

Seeing it in the open prairie was a pleasant surprise. Actually, it was on the edge of a large thicket of Black Hawthorn with miles of grass all around.

There are about half a dozen species here and I have difficulty telling them apart.
