AllYouCanEat Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 Nice photos. I was passing through the area while on the ptarmigan. Really enjoyed the nice weather and scenery. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 I've seen those purple flowers around a bunch recently. I can't find my flower book. Anyone know what they are, some kind of lilly? Quote
ewhack Posted August 23, 2006 Author Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Fireweed, I believe. Shot was taken near avalanche swath. Edited August 23, 2006 by ewhack Quote
AllYouCanEat Posted August 23, 2006 Posted August 23, 2006 The first flower is a yellow monkey flower. Those have been everywhere in purple up there also. Quote
