Zion: Telephone and Flowers, May 21, 2008 - page 5

Lots of this up there, and elsewhere in Zion this year. Obviously a Lupine, but which one? Shows with blue and with white flowers, this patch being almost entirely white. On the ZNP wildflower list is:

Broad-leaved Lupine
Lupinus latifolius
Legume Family

Closeup of the blossoms. (The leaves don't look particularly broad to me...)

Really have no idea on this one, and did not take a good overview of the plant.

Closeup of the flowers. Looks vaguely "Milkweed"ish. Zion White Mystery Flower #2

This one's a bit easier, though it was challenging to photograph.

Larkspur or Delphinium
Delphinium andersonii
Buttercup Family

Larkspur blossom up close ...
