Day 222 Learned a Really Good Lesson
On my recent trip to Glacier, I took lots of photos of the few wildflowers that were blooming. These three were really hard to identify, so I enlisted my faithful friends and co-photogs for help. Did I ever learn a wonderful lesson from them. When you take closeups of flowers you are going to need to identify, make sure you include a shot of the full plant including the leaves. It makes it really difficult to identify without the foliage. Thanks to Linda Martin and Tom Ulrich for their help and suggestions. I do believe that identifying wildflowers is a whole lot harder than identifying birds! I have some great resource books and still struggle.
