Looking back ten years to May 2012 Part Three 05-27-22

Still en route to Kalispell.  We didn't want to eat fast food, so we drove on until we found a nice restaurant that I had enjoyed before.  It was completely different, but the food was good.  We were ready to start our Ruth B. McDowell class the next day.  

It was spring in upper Montana so there were lots of wildflowers blooming and later in town beautiful flower gardens in the green, green yards.   I had to photograph many of the flowers.

Prairie Smoke  (Geum triflorum)

Lupine (the blue flower) and I don't know the name of the white.

Bluebells (Hyacinthoides)


Common Flax (Linum)  A garden flower


Horse Chestnut tree in blossom. 

A very blue bearded iris growing beside a garage in Kalispell. 

Catmint (Nepeta)

Columbine (Aquilegia) with Catmint.   Columbine is the state flower of Colorado.

 

We finally made it to Kalispell, a lovely green town, at least it is in the summer.  We stayed in what would now be called an AirB&B.  The door on the bottom floor at the left was our room.  It was clean and comfortable, but we didn't spend much time there since we were in class all day. 


Tomorrow I will show some pictures from Ruth's class.
