Saddle Mountain in June
Kathleen Sayce led a botany hike up Saddle Mountain on Saturday. We were greeted by below normal temperatures and overcast, but the wildflowers were a spectacular mix of species slowed up by the cold spring and more typical early June species.
Dodecatheon austrofrigidum frigid shootingstar
Cardamine pattersonii Saddle Mountain bittercress
Erythronium revolutum pink fawn lily
Synthyris schizantha fringed synthyris
Viola adunca early blue violet
