May 27, 2012 Wildflower Walk
Only out an hour or so. 90 plus photos. 44 keepers.
I wanted to get photos of the plants that I had observed on the twenty-fifth when I didn’t have my camera with me. I got two of them, Sisymbrium altissimum, tumble mustard or Jim Hill mustard, and Silene latifolia, bladder campion. I couldn’t find the Vicia villosa, winter vetch plant in bloom that I had seen and I simply forgot to photograph the Robina pseudoacacia, black locust.
Rose came again. I had her drop me off by the fireplug. She would drive around to the west end to see the Lewisia rediviva, bitterroot down there and walk east on the main trail to meet me.
Two other objectives were to improve my photos of Myosotis stricta, blue scorpion grass and to check the buds on Arnica fulgens, shining leopard bane. The buds on the A. fulgens were opening but were not in full bloom.
I found a Potentilla sp in bloom. It must be either P. gracillis or P. recta, probably P. recta. Burke says P. recta’s palmate compound leaves are 5-7 leaflets and P. gracillis are 7-9. These seem to have 5 leaflets.
There were Matricaria discoidea, pineapple plants in the path just beginning to bloom.
The Sedum lanceolatum, lance-leaf stonecrop on White Bitterroot Rock are in bud.
