This morning’s wildflowers

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.

Bluebell bellflower, Bluebell-of-Scotland, Harebell, Campanula rotundifolia

Pipsissewa, Chimaphila umbellata

Oneleaf foamflower, Sugar scoop, Western foamflower, Tiarella trifoliata

Common selfheal, Prunella vulgaris

Twinflower, Linnaea borealis

Liverleaf wintergreen, Pink pyrola, Pyrola asarifolia

Nodding onion, Allium cernuum

Spotted coralroot, Corallorhiza maculata
