While 2020 was a pretty good year for wildflowers we stuck relatively close to home save for a July trip to Lakeview and a couple of visits to the Rogue-Umpqua Divide Wilderness. That meant we didn’t get to many areas where the wildflowers are much different from what we see most years so we didn’t see many new types. Nevertheless we saw a wide variety of flowers throughout the year and some very colorful displays. We also took more urban hikes so some of the flowers weren’t native wildflowers.
Once again the first flowers we encountered were on our February hike.

Some great shots here. Does your theme allow captions? Those would make it easier to identify your shots.
I may go through and add those that i am reasonably certain on.
This is a great collection! I would click “like” but I can’t find anywhere to do it.
