Flowers in Glacier NP

I saw lots of wildflowers in Montana. Entire hillsides were covered with them. In the park itself, I had fun trying to capture a few. I don't know names for them. (I'm doing good to name and differentiate between roses and evergreen trees!) So if you know the names, please let me know. Enjoy!
Lots of Indian Paintbrush

Nice set! Looks like you went at a great time!
Next time see if they have brochures at the visitor center or online to ID the flowers.

What a lovely variety, Kathy! #3 could be a type of primrose, but I'm not sure.

Thanks. It started cold and wet, but I did have some sunny warm days. They had a book in the gift shop, but I couldn't afford it! There weren't any free things like some parks have.

There was a magenta flower that I thought was some sort of primrose. These were so tiny. The entire flower was about 1/4" across. Thanks, Donna. I'll check on that possibility!

Nice flowers Kathy, I believe #3 are "forget-me-not" flowers, they do come in pink and blue - and should be easy to remember

A gorgeous set, Kathy. The 'No clue' one looks like a wattle--it is fairly common in my neck of the woods.

I forget about them, since we don't have them. I'll check on that possibility. Thanks!

Thanks, Earl. I've never heard of a wattle. I'll have to check it out. I appreciate the info.
