Mountain Wildflowers
I didn’t dare stop along the road as we traveled up Pike’s Peak for fear I would lose my nerve to keep going. But I was much more relaxed on the way down and found a couple of places where I could pull off and take a closer look at some of the wildflowers. I believe this one is called Rockslide Daisy.
The foliage reminds me a bit of my bleeding heart at home, and of some of my buttercup weeds. Here is another view straight on of the flower:
It is a deep pinkish purple and the petals have little hairs. (I wish that I had touched it to know if the hairs were soft or bristly.) It grows very close to the ground: this plant was only about 3 inches tall.
What interesting things have you seen this summer?
I walked down the embankment into the trees’ edge and found this curious-looking flower. I have no idea what it is, so feel free to leave a comment if you know its name.

I read some of "grace..." first and see that we are both living out Plan B of life. I know it is not easy, but having God makes all the difference! Blessings to you and your family.♥♫
Great photos.

So nice to see you in my comments.
I love the daisy shot!
I feel like I should know this other flower but it escapes me. I hope someone will know for you.
Now, I'm going to scroll down and see what you've been up to. :)
