These beautiful orange berries belong to Tartarian Honeysuckle. This shrub was introduced from Europe as a garden shrub, but has escaped and become invasive. Grows in moist, wooded areas. Flowers can be pink or white, June-July, and produces red, orange or yellow berries in pairs, 5-7 mm across. These were growing in Weaselhead.

Usually, when I'm lucky enough to see these small, native wildflowers, they are growing deep in the forest, where the light is awful. I seem to remember that I only found two of these flowers that day at Maclean Pond, Kananaskis (off Elbow Falls Trail, Highway 66), and this one was right on the edge of the forest. I always use a tiny twig or leaf when I want to tilt a flower (unless it's a noxious weed), as oil (?) from the fingers can result in a flower head later being eaten by an animal (?). It is especially important not to touch a rare/less common plant for that reason. This plant, also known as Woodnymph, grows in moist wooded areas, June-July. Each plant has a solitary, fragrant flower that hangs its head. An edible plant, with a high vitamin C content.

This pretty wildflower was growing up in the mountains at Ptarmigan Cirque two days ago. A member of the Rose family, it grows on alpine slopes June-July. The white flower is 2-4 cm across, has 8-10 hairy sepals, 8 petals, and numerous stamens and pistils. Love to see it growing against the rocks like this.

I'm not quite sure why I like White Cinquefoil so much. There is something almost old-fashioned about it - and I love "modern". I don't get to see it very often. I find the individual flowers are really pretty. This plant was growing at Edworthy Park, at the Lawrey Gardens end.

I believe I have the right ID for this plant : ) The various Locoweeds are bad enough to tell apart, but, oh, the Vetches and milkvetches! Trouble is, each photo that you see looks somewhat different, which makes everything even more confusing. Saw this plant at Bowmont Park, west end, the other day.

This a very pretty, native wildflower that grows in moist, wooded areas, in flower June-July. The solitary flowers are white, waxy and fragrant, 1-2 cm wide. This plant was growing on private property near Millarville on 20th July.

We find this little wildflower up in the mountains in alpine and subalpine meadows - this was seen along the Ptarmigan Cirque trail, in Kananaskis (Rocky Mountains) in July. This native plant is in flower June-July.

Though this is a fairly new plant to me, especially one with flowers, I love it. Those tiny hanging bells are so delicate - and so difficult to focus on, especially in the low light of the forest. Hopefully, I'll get a really sharp image of them one of these days : ) This native plant is a member of the Lily family and grows in moist, wooded areas. The very small, whitish-green flowers occur on jointed and bent stalks that originate in the leaf axils. The flowers have 3 petals and 3 sepals, and grow June-July.

I was thrilled to see a few tiny clumps of Roseroot yesterday, high up on scree on a hike at Ptarmigan Cirque in Kananaskis, Rocky Mountains! This plant is in the Stonecrop family, is native, and grows June-July. It grows on moist alpine scree slopes and rocky outcrops. A very attractive succulent.

Not exactly a good photo for ID, but I loved the sparkling bokeh created by the sun shining on the water : ) This Sticky Asphodel plant was growing near a tiny inlet that was running into a small stream at Bow Valley Provincial Park (eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains) yesterday. Sticky Asphodel, also known as False Asphodel, is a member of the Lily family, flowering June-July, in calcareous marshes and shorelines.

I have only seen this plant once before and that was near the edge of Barrier Lake, Kananaskis. The plant above was found yesterday, on a hike at Bow Valley Provincial Park, Kananaskis, to my delight. This member of the Honeysuckle family grows in moist, wooded areas, June-July. There are two bracts (which turn reddish purple at maturity), with a pair of purplish black berries that are inedible, possibly poisonous.

This is one of our small, wild Orchids, Striped Coralroot. It is a native plant and grows in open woods. Grows 15-40 cm tall, June-July. Always a good feeling when we come across a few clumps of this attractive plant.

This is a very small (5-9 mm wide), native wildflower that likes moist, open areas. It has 3 petals and 3 sepals. A member of the Iris family, it grows June-July.

Buckbrush, also known as Western Snowberry, is a shrub in the honeysuckle family. These are the berries at the end of a long, hard winter, seen at Sandy Beach on the east side of the river. These berries, whitish green then turning purplish black, are inedible.

This is just a single tiny flower of the flower cluster of the wild Round-leaved Orchid. There are several (2-8) of these small flowers along a main stem. This plant grows in mossy areas of moist coniferous forests. It looks rather like a little angel with wings and a polk-dot gown. Very delicate little flowers, each one 12-15 mm long.
