In early April the parade of colorful wildflowers begins in our mountain garden. The colors begin with the sprinkling of Glacier Lilies and Trillium; then their yellow and white spread to the sweeps of Spring Beauty, Arnica, and Oxeye Daisies. The landscape continues with the bloom of Lady Slippers, Balsamroot, pink Nootka Roses and concludes with purple Vetch, orange Tiger Lilies, Lyal’s white Star Tulips, in pink shades of Columbine. Enjoy!
