Utah Serviceberry
Last week as I walked the Bright Angel Point trail I noticed a few plants beginning to bloom at Grand Canyon. This narrow trail is on a ridgeline running between Roaring Springs and Transept canyons.

Warm air rises from the depths and creates a transition zone between the upper Sonoran desert and the Ponderosa Pine forest giving these plants a head start.
It seems to be a late spring in lots of places. It was very late in Alaska, and here in Utah. Nice flower shots!
I think we had a late spring, too, but it's exciting when it finally happens!
I love it when all the natural flora is in bloom. Sweet scents in the air. MB
PS. Believe it or not that is Cranberry Lake at Deception in the background of my rose pic. MB
Your garden is beautiful and you don't have to do anything to it! So much more fun watching all these plants blossom without any help from mankind. Diane
Gaelyn: The snow is gone and the blooms appear.
It's always fun to see the berry bushes bloom. Hope you're having a good weekend.
Lovely, Gaelyn!
Spring has finally sprung for you – and I see you have a visitor, too!
With all these in bloom it must look stunning right now Gaelyn.
It does seem that spring is coming late to you. Autumn is long gone over here.
We've now got blooms galore, too. Here's wishing you more!
I had never heard of wax current.. pretty
