Photographed along the Harding Icefields trail in Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.

These Geraniums were growing along the trail to the Old Presque Isle Lighthouse on Lake Huron. We were there recently with a son and daughter-in-law.

This Geranium leaf (the plant was not blooming) was photographed near Hog Lake in the channeled scablands of eastern Washington.

These orchids, White Bog Orchids, were photographed in a field of wildflowers in Dunraven Pass in Yellowstone National Park. The wildflowers in the background include lupines, buckwheat, geraniums, daisies and other wildflowers.

We saw a lot of these in Alaska. They are the Woolly Geranium, Geranium erianthum. The photo was taken along the Seward Highway near Summit Lakes. If you look closely there is an Aphid or small insect at the base of the column of the first flower.

Found only on the drier eastern side of the Cascades, this wildflower, Geranium viscosissimum, blooms in the spring. This example was photographed in the area of Medical Lake, Washington. Taken at the same time, the inserted picture shows an Orange Ringlet butterfly on one of the flowers.

In Explore July 31, 2011, #487. These pictures are from a brief trip we made earlier in the summer to the Columbia River gorge and to northern Oregon for a bit of sightseeing and hiking. Though very beautiful in the photo, this plant is a garden escape and a noxious weed that "suppresses native species in west-side forests and is spreading rapidly." The photo was taken along the Gorge Trail in the area of Horsetail Falls off Old Highway 30, a beautiful scenic drive on the south side of the gorge. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/06/columbia-ri...
