We have an acre and a half with the spring wild flowers blooming. These are some as they come up. Anyone who can ID these please let me know the names. Thank you.
Montana Wild flowers
So pretty! So it's officially spring in Montana? LOL
#2 might be cat's ears, calochortus.
Nice vistas Soferdig. No. 5 looks like a poppy with it's furry stem and dainty papery bloom.
#5 looks like Anemone drummondii (or some other wild anemone). A. drummondii has a bluish reverse and grows to about 12".
I have lots of lupines coming up this year after all the rain we have received. I haven't seen any other wildflowers yet - everything seems slow to get going this year. The serviceberry are beautiful. They look so pretty against the bright green of the larches right now.
#13 might be some type of Silene. Is the plant in any way kind of sticky?
#13 looks like it could be a woodland star, lithophragma parviflora. II am still trying to learn all their names. Just wish we had more wildflowers showing at this time. It has been a little cold this spring. We had two mornings last week that were 25 degrees. Thanks for the welcome!
Yes, I think yuo are right on #13. The leafless stalk is what threw me on this one. Silene has a few linear leaves up the stalk. I haven't come across lithphragma (yet).
Pard the stem is sticky with the hair but not adhesive. Linda We suffered also and I had annuals out but I covered them with my usual plastic and mulched over them, all is fine.
