Pre conference tour.
Thought you would all like to know there are thousands of Eritrichium nanum and maybe a few less Aquilegia jonesei in flower at present; and Clematis columbiana var. by the square foot. A stunning sight. You may get photos later. ;-)))))))))

Julia Corden is having a marvelous time - already! She has visited the Betty Ford Alpine Garden in Vail and is now in full flower-viewing mode!
"the Rockies today beautiful blue skies and very hot but still many exciting flowers. Delphinium, Penstemon and Phlox all in the first 30 mins after leaving West Vail. "

more from Independence Pass ..... "The snow is up high, but the temp is 80 + up high in the mountains and 95 + in Denver. Thankfully there is a strongish wind to cool you down!"

From Julia: Kebler Pass fantastic - thank you Nick Courtens for your advice, what a day. Erythronium in flower just as the last snow is melting especially for Ian Young!
