In 2011, I spent a lot of time hiking and photographing wildflowers. In total I saw 115 different species. This summer I wanted to try and beat my record, so I set a goal of 120 species. At the end of the summer I identified and photographed 185 different species, including one that was outside of its document area of occurrence. These are some of my favorites, enjoy!
