Entering Lupin Lane…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I don’t remember the grasses ever being this tall, plus they are nearly overgrowing Lupin Lane. It feels a bit jungle like.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Peek a boo view of the mountains. Dark skies all day with a few sun breaks, but the clouds and the very green grass made for beautiful contrast.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This little flower is about the size of my thumbnail … very pretty, BUT unfortunately it is Orange Hawkweed, a noxious weed in Montana, which is required to be controlled or the state will do it for the landowner … and send the bill! So, took the photo and then pulled the plant.

State of the wildflowers on June 27, 2020: The lupin are nearing the end of their blooming time. Mariposa Lilies are still going strong and there are so many! I saw the first “common harebell” today: small purple bell shaped flowers … not showy, but such pretty shapes. There was not a LOT of Indian Paintbrush this year, but more than I’ve seen in some years. I love when there is a group of lupin, paintbrush and mariposa – beautiful colorway! The mystery [to me] is how high the woods grasses are … why? And especially as I had such high hopes for my yard after the mild winter, but my yard … gah … not a LOT of grass. Thankfully there is green stuff, it is just not grass … and it still needs to be mowed. Minor issues!!
