What's Blooming?
Flowers are scattered throughout Yellowstone's northern landscape from April
to September. During the winter the lie dormant,
waiting
to burst into color.
Several
factors determine what you might see and where.
How
hot or cold has it been this growing season?
Has
it rained or snowed much this year?
Some
flowers are early bloomers, others are late
Many
northern range flowers like sunny locations, but some need a cool, shady, or
moist spot
Some
flowers hug the edges of high, craggy peaks while others flourish in the
lowlands
This
exhibit made possible by a generous grant from the Yellowstone Association.
