Rocky Mountain Flowers
 |
Blowing in the wind? No, this photo was shot on a windless day in the Canadian Rockies. Nor are these true petals. The showy petal-like sepals, accented by darker veins, may stick straight outwards like in this flower -- an invitation to insects that will find sweat nectar deep within the reaches of this flower. In the late season the flower turns to a mop of long, greyish-white fuzzy styles, which in themselves are beautiful. |
