Nice photos, I like the butterfly one a lot, good color contrast and non-distracting background.

Trillium are blooming along the old Erie Canal towpath ...

My first Indian Paintbrush of the year

Prairie Anemone, known generally as crocus, popping out all over this week on grassy hillsides near home in Calgary. A welcome sight, as they are late this year.

Red trilliums are fading away and now the white ones have appeared ...

on my to check out Kolob Reservoir I found these beauties along the roadside.
They look like Lewisias/Bitterroot but they grew on a bone dry slope instead of a moist meadow
Anyway, they were really awesome

Some of the wildflowers we saw today on our Puffer Pond hike



The red trilliums are past bloom in our area but they haven’t quite bloomed yet up in this part of the Adirondacks.

Couple flowers I found in Plumas National Forest. I am trying to learn things, so been trying to figure out the names of flowers I take photos of.

Pacific Dogwood!!



Not 100% sure, but think this is Indian Rhubarb.

More crocus:

There were plenty of other flower species popping up on my bike ride through the 11 sq. km of grasslands and aspen coulees at Nose Hill park in Calgary yesterday, but mostly of the low to the ground variety. Crocus ain't afraid of no wind though! It was a challenge getting a shot that wasn't blurred.

Phlox...Mountain Phlox, I think. Found these little cuties in Desolation Wilderness. About the size of a nickel.

 

[Ugly]

one is iPhone... iPhone is getting better, but still a big difference.

Some wild Ohio Phlox. Best time to visit them is the evening when they fill the surrounding area with "flower fragrance."

 

[Dreamer]

Craters of the Moon National Monument

 

[SteveR]

It's been a late spring in the Alberta foothills and mountains, but things were coming along nicely on a favourite loop across a couple of ridges this past week.

These might be "Dame's Rocket." They are beautiful and I love seeing them where I live in Michigan, but unfortunately they're non-native invasive. Dame has 4 letters and Dame ('s) Rocket has 4 petals. Phlox has 5 letters and Phlox has 5 petals. This is my trick to remember which is which. I zoomed in on your photo and think I see only 4 petals, and Dame's Rocket looks like this with the white, light lavender, and purple flowers all mixed together.
