They may not look like much, but we take what we can get in the high sagebrush steppe - first CO native wildflower blooms. In a few weeks my rewilded lot will be filled with purples and yellows and oranges, but for now early emerging pollinators will have to satisfy themselves with these tiny, low, unassuming blooms.

Spiny phlox, low pussytoes, and springparsley.

"Resting quietly on an ash-stole, with the scent of flowers, and the odour of green buds and leaves, a ray of sunlight yonder lighting up the lichen and the moss on the oak trunk, a gentle air stirring in the branches above, giving glimpses of fleecy clouds sailing in the ether, there comes into the mind a feeling of intense joy in the simple fact of living."
