I confess that my weakness is for native plants. I don't recognize many plants but I do go out on field trips to find plants.
Here we have bush and all kinds of plants that grow in the under bush. With deciduous trees we have a very lush undergrowth. I like prairie flowers best , but since I don't live on the prairie I don't see the prairie flowers.
Yesterday I was birding in the morning. Birds and plants were at their peak. We identified 39 species of birds. I tried getting some flower photos but since I'm not that steady anymore the camera is continually refocusing .
We started at a foot bridge across the Red Deer River. There were hundreds of cliff swallows nesting under the bridge.
Then we walked along the escarpment of the river so it's a challenging walk . It's set up for cross country skiing but it goes through heavy bush.
So here are some of the flowers I found.
