Wildflowers of spring (9)
This series of photos was taken on one brief trip through an area of the Flathead Reservation not far from here where I also found the Bitterroots in bloom. I must have chosen exactly the right time to go there.
Dalmatian Toadflax, Butter and Eggs, ~ Linaria vulgaris 6/1
Dame’s Rocket, Wild Phlox ~ Hesperis matronalis. I see them along the highways, but not usually anywhere near ranch houses, and never away from the roads either. They grow in very thick bunches and get to be over three feet tall. 6/1
