wildflower reports?

[Dustin Gent]

Forgive me if there is a thread for this (and if there is one, a link would be great!), but i thought a thread with a wildflower report would be nice.

Since this is my first spring here, i am unsure of all the good spots for wildflowers. In the northwest, i knew the spots. I am heading out on Sunday, and will report back. Also, does anyone know if there are wildflowers near Factory Butte bloomed this year?

From my recent outings, I'd say southern Utah's having a banner year for wild flowers. A lot of cactus plants are blooming, along with some of the more traditional flora.

I hiked the Granite Hi-Line in the Gros Ventre Saturday. LOTS of Western Bunchberry, delightful phloxes, some Larkspur....

Cedar Breaks in mid July can possibly take your breathe away. Check there website for updates.

I can report there is plenty in bloom in the Swell but didn't quite make it down to Factory Butte, along the way I did see larger fields of Globemallow here and there though nothing else of particular note stood out.

I was up above Pineview Reservoir and the Arrowleaf Balsamroot was in full display with what I am pretty sure was some Larkspur mixed in as I ran past. That was at about 6100'.

Most of the trails above Davis and Weber Counties are pretty amazing right now. The higher you go the better.
