Utah Wildflowers

by Jeffrey S. Pippen | To Jeff's Plants Page | To Jeff's Nature Page

While hiking/birding/butterflying in Wasatch, Salt Lake, Utah, and Summit Counties in Utah, we stumbled on a few wildflowers. The previous weeks saw much more rain & snowfall than usual, so the high desert was fairly green and wildflowers were doing well! All pictures were taken with a Nikon CoolPix 4500. Thanks to Marla Kirschbaum, Kevin Delaney, Jim Reveal, and Andrey Zharkikh for help with identifications! Enjoy!
