Colorado Rocky Mountain Wildflowers
Currently
our wildflower picture library consists of over 200 Wildflowers that can be found from the
Colorado plains to the alpine tundra of the Rocky Mountains.
Just because these wild plants are called "Wildflowers"...
doesn't necessarily mean that they are native to Colorado. Many of our
wildflowers were brought
here by early settlers, on the legs of animals, or seeds dropped by birds or carried with the winds.
Every image inside the Colorado Rocky Mountain Wildflowers was taken within a
short driving distance from Denver. The majority of the wildflower pictures
were taken in Deer Creek Canyon, up 285 thru Conifer with our expeditions
ending at the top of either Guanella Pass, or Boreas Pass near Como, and
both sides of Rollins Pass. Several of the wildflower pictures were taken in
Rocky Mountain National Park and a handful of the images were shot on Cottonwood Pass near Granby, Colorado
on the western slope.
Over the summer of 2007 my wife and
I had the opportunity to photograph dozens of
wildflowers that we found on our frequent wildflower hunting trips. During the winter of
2008 these beautiful new wild flowers will be added to the site.
The
wildflower section of Denver Plants is dedicated to my wife Janet... who
is an avid horticulturist. Without her help and knowledge of wildflowers
this section of the site would not have been possible.
Janet and I both spent many a late night
identifying and naming all the pictures we have taken on our frequent wildflower
hunting trips. In all it took just over 6 months to bring you the wild
flower section of Denver Plants. We hope you enjoy it.
