  • Also known as pinkladies, pink evening primrose and Mexican evening primrose, this wonderfully beautiful native to the Central United States and Northeastern Mexico is spreading across all of the lower half of the continental United States from coast to coast, mostly due to its use in gardens and hardy nature. These were photographed just a few feet from the beach in North Florida's St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge on the Gulf of Mexico.

  • While incredibly beautiful and also incredibly stinky, the parry's primrose is found blooming in the summertime in very high elevations 8,800 to 13,800 feet (2700 to 4200 meters), often within sight of melting snow. Although common in the Western United States, their range is restricted to Rocky Mountains and cannot be found in the coastal states. These incredibly bright native primroses were found just below the top of the tree line high in the mountains above Aspen, Colorado in Pitkin County at around 10,000 feet in elevation.

  • These absolutely beautiful springtime evening primroses stand out in sharp contrast against the red sands of Nevada's Valley of Fire, just east of Las Vegas.

  • After the first rains, these delicate spring bloomers can leave carpets of snowy white across the deserts of the Southwest, such as this one in Southern Nevada.

  • Considered an invasive species in North America, the Peruvian primrose-willow was introduced into the Sunshine State and many other places around the world for its beautiful yellow four-petalled flowers. These days it is a serious problem due to how fast this tall very bush grows and how easily it spreads, outcompeting coastal native plant species in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and the Texas Gulf Coast. This one was photographed in the Fakahatchee Strand in Collier County, Florida.

  • The Pacific starflower is a common woodland wildflower of the forest floor, where vast carpets of them can often be found in older forests with very filtered light. Because they like cool moist peaty soils, they are often found from the Pacific coast to the upper western-side of the mountains of the Cascades in the Pacific Northwest. This was found about halfway up the western side of Oregon's Larch Mountain.

  • A few-flowered shooting star blooms in a mountain bog on the northern face of Washington's Mount Rainier near Lake Mowich.

  • This spectacular and vibrant wildflower is found across most of the northern United States and much of Canada. This one was photographed just east of Seattle about half way up Rattlesnake Mountain.

  • Found scattered throughout the North American West, the denseflower willowherb is an easily overlooked beautiful flowering herb found in arid regions of mountain valleys, grasslands, rocky steppes, and along the coast. This one was photographed in the dry arid grasslands in early summer on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge.
