A few years ago, I began to take pictures of wildflowers on my trail runs in Jefferson County and on my occasional hike in the mountains. The anticipation of sharing photos on social media makes me notice the flowers more than I ever did before. I have learned to stop and smell the roses! I am also learning to identify wildflowers by looking them up on Colorado wildflower websites. Some of the flowers are tricky to identify. Corrections are welcome.
