Here are some sweet little alpine gems growing half-way up Mt. Evans. I don't know the ID but any help would make you the recipient of a huge mental high five.

| I want it, I want it, I want it. |

| Probably the best show on the mountain! |
The first picture looks like Rhodiola rosea (Kings Crown)--a moisture loving sedum relative--coming up through moss in early summer.
ReplyDeleteThe one with a ring around it has me stumped, but your lovely vignette in the bottom is fairy prmrose (pink)[Primula angustifolia], alpine forget-me-not {turquoise blue) [Eritrichium aretioides) and big-rooted spring beauty (rosette with pale pink-white five petaled flowers) [Claytonia megarhiza]. High FIVE!
