Wildflower in Idaho
High in the elevation of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest lies this mountain side of purple wildflowers. I have no idea what this flower is called, but found it quite beautiful. Taken on the 21st day of September, 2019 while on the backside of the Grand Tetons in Idaho before the snow started coming down. We were fortunate enough to capture this beauty while hiking along the trail.

Lovely image of a wildflower. Not positive, but I think it is a purple thistle. 😊

Your wildflower is a thistle and takes an area. My reaction would have been to dehead te flower or try and get the root system.

Well I had no idea and it was on the side of the mountain in the forest. It sure made a great photo and I had no preconceived notion to behead it. Thanks for the info. 😊

For some reason the link I provided above doesn’t work properly. I copied it and then posted it in google.com and it worked just fine. Go figure computers and their ongoing conflicts with certain websites.

Nice! Someone recommended using an app to identify flowers called Picture This – plant identifier. I just downloaded it – its pretty cool so far. Its $30 a year, but I do love plants and never know what the heck they are! Figured this would be worth it!
