Surely, I am flawed. At a minimum, I lack proper resolve. Every spring I tell myself I am not going to take any photographs of the bitterroot in bloom since I already have dozens of them. But every year, the sight of them draws me in like a conspiracy theorist to crop circles.
And there
I go with my smartphone on camera mode.
To
be fair, bitterroot earned their place as our state flower for good reason.
First, they are workhorse tough. They will happily live on the open prairie,
but will also climb a mountain and thrive at elevation. These pretty flowers
shake off both extended drought and sub-zero temperatures. Secondly, they would
likely win any beauty contest they enter, at least if I am the judge.
The
other day, my resolve melted, per usual, when I found bitterroot on display
along our county road.
