Gorgeous! I saw some of these plants back on my birthday hike in March, but I have never seen them in bloom! Posted 7 years ago

  Thanks! These were just starting to bloom when I found them. It was my first time seeing them in bloom. It's so hard to coordinate hikes to when different things will bloom in the spring :) Posted 7 years ago
