A host of wildflowers bloom and fade across Wyoming each year, signaling the seasonal march from spring through summer to fall. From shooting stars to silky phacelia, the state’s wildflowers attract invertebrates, feed birds and blanket the landscape in beauty.
Early blooms like the pale purple pasque flower and sunny arrowleaf balsamroot have come and gone in many places, making way for later season varieties like paintbrush and asters.
Funnily named flowers such as phlox and silky phacelia also festoon the high-country late into the summer.
