The flowers here were all photographed in July near each other in a patch of wildflowers in a mountain pass near Rock Creek Vista (9190 feet) in Custer National Forest, Montana. There are actually only four flowers shown here. I had multiple shots of all except for the pink flowers. Can you please help me identify the species and subspecies?
five species in fact: - Penstemon procerus, most likely - Potentilla glandulosa - two species of Phlox (the last picture is different from the previous two) - check for Phlox hoodii and Phlox pulvinata, as possibilities. - Silene acaulis
Silene acaulis is featured on the sidebar today, or if it's been replaced, it's the August 1 Botany Photo of the Day.
