Below are photographs of the flowers I pass by during spring morning walks on the mountain where I live (one flower I could not identity). Since these photographs were taken, many new varieties of flowers have bloomed. I could showcase so many more exquisite varieties but for now the selection below will suffice.The mountain never ceases to be alive with wondrous beauty. I hope these flowers provide you with a virtual visit to the Okanagan Mountain landscape in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
