Golden Currant (Ribes aureum), a member of the gooseberry family, is now in bloom at the Timber Group Picnic Area in Lory State Park.
This Milkvetch, a member of the pea family, is found at the beginning of the Shoreline Trail. The end of the rounded keel, characteristic of the Astragalus genus, is purple.
An unidentified bug is very interested in this Whiskbroom Parlsey (Harbouria trachypleura):
A common name for the following beauty is "Death Camas." Weber and Wittman put it the False Hellebore family and tell us on p. 241 of their book, Colorado Flora, that it does not venture "very far out on the plains." Let's hope it continues to stay close to us.
