Fragrant, cheerful, and with a penchant for painting the most unexpected places with splashes of color, wildflowers are a delight to encounter. Bright Yellow Bells in Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge in Washington. A meadow of Lupine in Maroon Bells–Snowmass Wilderness. Balsam Root growing among ponderosa pines. Fireweed bringing a note of color to the banks of the Tatshenshini River. Showcasing a year of beautifully photographed native North American species, Wildflowers is a celebration of nature's prettiest blooms.
