Wildflowers in a meadow at Mount Rainier National Park.
The prominent species are magenta paintbrush and dwarf (I think?) lupine. I see American bistort and western anemone in there. I'm not sure what the yellow ones are.
I think this would make a wonderfully challenging jigsaw puzzle!
The wonder of these puffballs usually eludes photographic capture but I think I did ok here
@NorcalGma2 they’re lovely! I have one too…
1) Made healthy choices.
2) Reconnected.
3) Stayed creative.
Practising peace. 
Yours?

One of the few happy memories of my mother's garden was a wall of sweet peas. I grew up being the laborer that kept her garden humming and food on the table. In all fairness my parents were raised knowing that if they didn't work to generate food they would go hungry. They raised me the same way.
I learned to hunt, fish and grow my own food. Surf fishing and hanging on to my dad's leg to keep the tide from washing me away is my earliest memory. I also gained gardening skills that have served me well.
I grew a wall of sweet peas for my kids when they were growing up, but didn't make them responsible for putting food on the table. Times had changed and I was a gentler parent.
This year for the first time in probably forty years I planted a wall of sweet peas.
This is the first blossom and the fragrance is just like I remembered.
Now I am old.
A full circle.

These always make me smile. MANY years ago, my wife bought a small packet of Lilly bulbs from a school fund-raiser. It was back when the PTA would have kids go door-to-door selling stuff to support school activities. I bunged them in the ground next to the day lillies and let them do their thing. We are now treated to a large display of these each July. I have no idea what the variety is, but it does not lessen the enjoyment.

It's pleasant enough outside to have both B (baby) and K (kiddo) outside for a while for snacks and playtime-- which means I had my second cup of coffee outside in the backyard. #coffee #GoodMorning #flowers #BloomScrolling
We stopped in at the Public Gardens on Sunday and the roses were particularly nice.
Feierabend.
Einstaudige Zwillinge.
1/2 One front garden has Paper Daisies (Xerochrvsum bracteatum) seemingly in every colour. (3 more pics below.)
I've been watching them for a week or so, waiting for the blooms to open... But I think this is it?! #MEcfsEgress #BloomScrolling DailyNaturePics 82
