Wild Flowers are usually aflame in mid August around the Mt. Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest, and so they were to the extent to which we could reach them. After a snowy winter and a near record snow pack, the snow had not yet melted from one of my favorite mountain trails.
Snow caves at one end of the Artist Point parking lot.The Daily Bucket is a nature refuge. We amicably discuss animals, weather, climate, soil, plants, waters and note life’s patterns.
We invite you to note what you are seeing around you in your own part of the world, and to share your observations in the comments below.
Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the phenological patterns that are quietly unwinding around us. To have the Daily Bucket in your Activity Stream, visit Backyard Science’s profile page and click on Follow.
Before I go further, I must admit that I am unsure about some of the flowers shown. I have scoured several wildflower and plant guides and still am unsure on some and totally unable to identify others. I just used common names for most. Please help me out and correct and or name those that I have not gotten correct.
