Taken yesterday, 6/12, on Eisenhower and Pierce:

Cloudberry

Pale Laurel

Cotton Grass

Other flowers up there were Alpine Azalea, Diapensia (fading), Lapland Rosebay (really fading), Mountain Avens, Rhodora, Lab Tea and more. Not quite up to last year, though.

This thread has really 'blossomed' into a great chronology of spring flowers. Quite impressive!

I went out yesterday, and found a few ones I hadn't shot yet this year...

Maiden Pink

Sheep Laurel...

Also out were blackberry flowers, cinquefoils, mouse eared chickweed, daisys, buttercups, clovers, coreopsis and a few lingering bluets...

Blueberries were thick, but quite green on the bush...
