Backyard flowers



  A small colorful corner of the backyard.  Golden Dahlia and golden Lilies, colorful Snapdragons, red Geraniums and bright red Crocosmia.  Spearmint and Lavender too.  Oh I see some pansies and Chives also.  A cheery spot.

Wildflowers on Mt. Baker

This beautiful flower is just starting to flower all over the meadows on the flanks of Mt. Baker.  It is called 'Avalanche Lily' or 'Glacier Lily'.  Botanical name is Erythronium montanum.
This shrub and flower is called 'Twinberry' or 'Ink berry'.  Botanical name is Lonicera involucrata and is part of the Honeysuckle family.

Wildflowers bloom about 1-2 weeks after snowmelt.  Just to let you know the snow is just beginning to melt on the meadows on Mt. Baker's flanks.
