Shooting Stars - dodecathion conjugens

I had an absolutely fantastic time photographing wildflowers at Grand Teton National Park in June. I photographed enough different wildflowers that I share an entire blog post full of just pink and purple wildflowers from just one park!

Fairyslipper or Calypso Orchid – Calypso bulbosa – what can I say  – I found one!!!! If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know I love the native orchids – so you can just imagine how pleased I was to find this Fairyslipper orchid

Few-flowered Shooting Stars – Dodecatheon pulchellum – related to the Shooting Stars I’ve photographed in North Carolina and Tennessee.

Spring Beauty – Claytonia lancelolata – related to the Spring Beauty (Claytonia caroliniana) I photographed in Tennessee.

Smallflowered Woodlandstar – Lithopharagma parviflorum – I loved the way these delicate flowers appeared to dance in the wind

Low Larkspur – Delphinium nutallianum – a relative of the Dwarf Larkspur (Delphinium tricorne) I photographed along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

And finally Ballhead Waterleaf – Hydrophyllum capitatum – one of the first wildflowers to bloom each year at Grand Teton National Park.

With all the wonderful wildflowers I found at Grand Teton National Park in June it should come as no surprise to anyone – I’m already planning my next trip to Grand Teton. I’m hoping to be there for several days in July 2012!
