I love the abundant wildflowers of my Montana home. My mom and I spend time each summer wandering the trails near our ranch and cataloging the flowers we find there. We have many flower identification books we flip through whenever we find a new one, and I have long wanted a more complete way to show the many stages of a plant than a printed book allows room for. The internet opens up many possibilities in that regard. Thus, I have begun this section of the site, posting pictures and descriptions of the flowers I am acquainted with. I hope this guide is helpful to others who love these plants as I do. (Not that I don't highly value the paper flower identification books. If you want to know which ones I use the most, click here.)

All of the photographs in this section are my photos - using one hobby that I love to further another.
