the first spring flowers of the season are out in St. George.

I just looked up St. George's elevation and saw 2700'. In about 5 weeks, we'll be at Coyote Buttes (elevation ~5000'). I'm wondering if we'll get to see flowers there? It would be so fun to see some in addition to all the amazing rocks!

Nice, Titans! Below we have the usual "bike and first of the prairie crocus" shot, taken March 26 on my neighbourhood trail network. These trails face SW on open grassy hillsides, so spring hits there first, but it's earlier than usual for flowers to appear.

 

[Titans]

Fresh from the press, trail I mean. Think I’m fully cured from going to popular towns during spring break!

Same Indian Paintbrush as a week ago

Small shrub

Yucca ready to open

The flowers are late this year, so everything is still a bit disappointing

Skunk Cabbage

Wild Bleeding Heart

I love the wild bleeding heart - I've never seen that in the wild. And your skunk cabbage flower is so bright and cheery!

thanks!! It also was a first for me to see the bleeding hearts in the wild. I love them and they were all over the place which was cool

Bloodroot … trilliums aren’t out yet, neither is much else around here.

Escalante Flowers - 3rd week of April

I enjoyed seeing some lovely flowers in the canyons and on the land up above the river. For the first few days of our trip, I was hoping to see cacti blooming but only saw buds. Late in the day on the 20th, I was thrilled to spot red flowers - the first! The next day I saw two more cacti in bloom, both fuchsia. I'm guessing there are cacti flowers all over the place by now!
