With the temperature headed for one hundred today, early morning was the only time for a short hike and yesterday’s post on Jomegat’s Weblog reminded me that the Pipsissewa are starting to bloom, an event I would hate to miss. The wildflowers don’t mind the heat, especially along a wooded canyon trail. There were other flowers in bloom as well.

Pipsissewa, Chimaphila umbellata
Oneleaf foamflower, Sugar scoop, Western foamflower, Tiarella trifoliata
