Spreading Phlox
I love how the Latin name for this plant (Phlox diffusa) is pretty much the same as the common name. These aren't big flowers (in the 10mm range) but they seem to completely cover the plant itself. Species: Phlox diffusa (Spreading Phlox)

Moss Campion
At first I though this and Spreading Phlox were the same thing, but they really aren't. It's cool how similar to the two plant's flowers look even though they aren't even in the same family (the leafy bits are substantially different). Species: Silene acaulis (Moss Campion)

Paintbrush
The background and the saturation really makes this photo for me. It surprises me just how hairy these flowers (bracts I'm sure) are. Species: Castilleja miniata (Giant Red Indian Paintbrush)

Small Lake In Meadow
That hill in front of the small lake would be the perfect spot to find a hobbit house. I wonder if that hill represents the end of a glacial advance. John Harvey Photo > John Harvey Photo - Hiking > Mt Cheam > Small Lake In Meadow
