Mineral King Wildflowers

Because I went coastal last week, I don’t have any new stories to tell about my crazy life in Mineral King. (not truly crazy, just me exaggerating. . .)

Instead, here are 10 photos of Mineral King wildflowers for you to enjoy.

Swamp onion
Penstemon
Crimson columbine
Indian paintbrush
Giant blazing star
Kelley’s leopard lily
Coneflower
Swamp onion again
Mountain Pride (or Pride of the Mountains, depending on which book you read.)
Pennyroyal

Do you have a favorite? Do you know any of these by different names?

  1. We saw most of those! I even had the name correct on several! It was nice to see you and Michael yesterday.
    Hey, how about a blog post of trees? I was naming them for Jordan. it would be nice to see how many of those I got right. Or….don’t you like trees?!?

    • Jim, thank you for stopping by! This past winter I finally bought a book on trees, but I am so captivated by flowers that I haven’t graduated much beyond my standard Red Fir, Juniper, Cedar, Foxtail and Lodgepole basics. Hey, 5 of them might make a good blog post. . . thank you for the idea!

  2. These are beautiful wildflowers. I downloaded them, thank you!

    • Enjoy, Janet!

  3. My grandmother loved those wildflowers and transplanted what she called Tiger Lillies to her Silver City property. My favorite, though, is the wild rose.

    • Joyce, those wild roses are wonderful and don’t look much like our domestic ones. MK is just enough higher than Silver City that wild roses don’t grow there.
