There are some wonderful wildflowers growing in Denali. I thought I’d share just a few with you…
I love the image of the lupines growing on the side of the
road and the pine trees right there. The
mountains in the background, of course, add just the perfect touch from my
perspective!
In this image, the 3 phases of flower “life” as I think of
it are shown. The lupines are definitely
just coming into their glory! The yellow
daisies like flowers, however, altho still blooming, seem to be getting tired
already and may be on their way out.
And, the dandelions have already gone to seed. The growing season up in Alaska is incredibly
short, which is part of the reason you have the 3 phases living their lives
right alongside each other!
This little yellow gem is a sort of wild rose that grows
here in Alaska. The tour guide told us
that this is her favorite flower because it seems to bloom throughout the
entire (short) growing season. When the
winter is as long and cold as it is in Alaska, one is glad for something that
takes full advantage of the summer months!
Enjoy!
