Todays Flavor: Orange

Painted Brush also called Indian Paint Brush has been blooming thick this summer in mountain meadows and sage-lands alike. It is one of our favorite wildflowers and comes in so many colors it begs the question of which we like best. Todays flavor is orange but that is certainly subject to change.

An even bigger question is do you order a single scoop, a double scoop or….

just sit down at the edge of the meadow and and enjoy the whole carton.

The wildflowers here, around Cheyenne, have also been delicious.

  Hi, I bet the flowers in Crested Butte were amazing this year given the wet winter they had. Must have been quite a treat for the eyes.

  HI Eliza, having that last photo as a backyard would be very, very nice indeed. It is close by to us but still requires a drive and a hike.

Now that’s a wildflower meadow! So beautiful, and that orange of the Paintbrush is really lovely.

  Hi, yes that was a wonderful meadow full of painted brush and many others as well. Too bad the flowers only last a couple of weeks in full bloom. Hope your week is going well.

Great job capturing the beauty of the wildflowers this year. On our hike yesterday we saw hundreds of flowers but were unable to get any photos that give you the “field full of blossoms” view.

  HI Kit, we also struggle to capture that “field full of blossoms view” as all too often all that color the eyes seem to see gets overpowered by all the green leaves in a photo. Hope your having a great week.
