Wildflower Surprises

Our last hike took us to a new area of our local mountains. Hiking along we noticed several new wildflowers. I was anxious to get home to look them up in the field guide.


Yellow star tulip 1
This is the first one: Yellow star tulip!


Slender iris -not sure
This one I think is a Slender iris.

What a wonderful way to learn about a new area by getting to know its wildflowers. I marvel at each new creation that I see. These two new wildflowers now are safely recorded in my nature journal.
