Here's what's been in bloom recently along the Bow River uplands (my cycling route to/from work)...
1) Big drifts of brilliantly-coloured Hedysarum boreale
2, 3) The earliest-blooming of the Gaura coccinea... there is quite a bit of variation in colour among the many plants, ranging to some quite intense orange-reds and pink-reds (those more colourful ones not showing up yet); the flowers often look a bit messy as though they are half-spent, but in close-up, the delicacy and intricacy of the long drooping anthers can be better appreciated.
4, 5) I'm surprised that Lilium philadelphicum has been able to survive in this heavily-used park!
