Primrose and Bitterroot


Today, I am sharing a couple of photographs I took while walking yesterday morning.  The white primrose (we call them a gumbo lily around here) sport a blossom that when fully open is often as large as the palm of your hand.  The gumbo lily opens before sunrise, remains open through midday and then closes and shrinks away into a pink knot before the sun sets.  The flowers last for but one single day.  The bitterroot is our ever brilliant state flower.
