These are the rest of the wildflowers that I was able to photograph during May. Late rains have slowed down the bloom, but it looks like June will be a good month for flowers.
Meadowrue ~ Thalictrum occidentale
Field Pussytoes ~ Antennaria neglecta
Bog Saxifrage ~ Micranthes oregana
This is a rather unusual member of the saxifrage family, but rather interesting because of the colors.
Upland Larkspur ~ Delphinium nuttallianum
Shooting Star ~ Dodecatheon pulchellum
Indian Paintbrush ~ Castillleja miniata
Wild Violets ~ Viola Adunca
Lanceleaf Springbeauty ~ Claytonia lanceolata
Fairy Slipper ~ Calypso Bulbosa
Probably the prettiest of the wild orchids in this region.
Elegant Cats-ear, Northwestern Mariposa Lily ~ Calochortus elegans
It’s a little unusual to see these in multiples.
Bitterroot ~ Lewisia rediviva
The Bitterroot is the state flower of Montana. It was cherished by the indigenous people for its roots.
Northern Cinquefoil, Villous Cinquefoil ~ Potentilla villosa
