More Mineral King Wildflowers

Trail Guy went to Timber Gap. This is the view. Lots and lots of snow remains.

You can always find Phlox on the upper part of the Timber Gap trail in June. This year in July too. Sometimes they turn lavender, as you would know if you read the book, Mineral King Wildflowers, or hiked much in Mineral King.

I LOVE Five-spot!

Larkspur.

Languid Ladies are also known as Sierra Bluebells.

Jeffrey Shooting Star likes its feet wet.

This is a puffball, not a flower. I think it is a toadstool, or a lichen, or maybe a mushroom. Don’t eat it, okay?

100 page paperback, flowers in photos, common names only, lots of chatty commentary, $20 including tax.
Available here
Also available at the Three Rivers Historical Museum, Silver City Store, from me if I put them in my car, or Amazon.

  Sharon, it might have been the tail end of June, but yes, there is still plenty of snow in Timber Gap.
