On the survey in the meadows and forests of the Apache National Forest, an abundance of wildflowers. I was surprised at the number and diversity. I took lots of pictures, and tried to identify them in guide books (which I mostly failed at). So anyways, here are just some of the wildflowers I have seen over the last month. I'm guessing that some of the IDs are wrong.
Bird-bill dayflower, Commelina dianthfolia.
Nodding Onion.
Iris.
Wild Blue Flax.
Tansyleaf Aster. Machaeranthera tanacetifolia
Iris.
Penstemon.

Scarlet gilia. Ipomopsis aggregata.

New Mexico checkermallow.
Swamp roses.
Baby Aster
Hooker's Thistle.
Common Mullein.
