Spring Wildflowers of the Enchampments

Lyall's Mariposa Lily
Calochortus lyallii


The Enchampments are simply splendid. Huge craggy peak after peak ascend above a pristine lake and tarn filled high valley basin!! 
There's plenty of miles to get to the lake filled basin and even though the landscape of snowy peaks and blue flowing water is the main attraction don't forget about the wildflowers.
I ascended into the enchampments in late May and along the lower and middle section of Snow lake trail wildflowers were blooming in abundance.
As i hiked up the trail the elevation change made a series of different species of flowers blooming.
I may have named some of these plants wrong, if so please let me know. There are several i couldn't identify, again if you know their names please let me know. 
Here they are, enjoy:
