Wildflowers are so fleeting, they come and go quite quickly. But, I, too anticipate certain ones and what a treat when they show. Lovely photos here, montucky–with the black background they look like the skyrockets that they are.

They are. Very simple flowers, but with a lot of impact.

What a beautiful flower.
The side-on view in the 2nd image reminds me of the red Bolivian Fuchsia flowers I photographed in the Royal Botanic Gardens here.

I’m not familiar with that one, but it might be a distant relative.

Wowzer! I’d love to see this in the wild. Don’t think we have any in Alberta. Might have to plan a road trip to MT or BC. 😉

Thank you Scott! This is one of the brightest and most vivid of our wildflowers so it’s always pleasant to find it.

This is such a beauty. I do enjoy red flowers, and this one’s a stunner. It reminds me a bit of our coral honeysuckle, because of the length of the flowers, but the coral honeysuckles I’ve seen don’t appear to come close to matching it for color.

It’s a favorite of mine. I like the color as well as the simplicity of the trumpet. I suspect the hummingbirds like it too. It likes full sun and a dry environment, but I can’t remember seeing it anywhere beside an opening in the forest.

I think we all agree. Each wildflower has its own unique and endearing qualities, doesn’t it!

Thank you! I think much of its beauty is in its simplicity: it doesn’t do a lot of things, but what it does it does well.

Thanks! I always spend some time photographing these. They stir the imagination. These photos were taken in full sun, so it took a little experimenting.
