Wildflowers Update **2018**

Post by Mark Curtis »

Please post your latest wildflower shots. A brief description of the flower type and location is also encouraged!

I'll start things off with a shot I took yesterday.....a lone clump of (still partially snow covered) White Marsh Marigolds along the shores of Lake Marie in southern Wyoming:

Thanks Mark.

They're from a hike in Hawn State Park in Missouri. A nice long loop with really varied terrain and flora. It's got enough up and down and distance to make a nice training hump. I have more I'll try to post.

I like this thread, keep it rolling.

nice work to all...

Randy, I read your TR. nice work. I'm glad that "misguided soul" on the road to green lake didn't get you down.

Someone wake me up when that guy comes to his senses. Hey, maybe I should just buy some land further down the road and do the same thing, then the guy would be trapped.
