Spruce Mountain, Larkspur CO is my favorite place to hike, I've gone there several years to do so. This is the first year I saw these beautiful flowers and found they are the Mariposa Lily. They are growing all along the hiking path at the top! I wanted to see if they can be planted in my garden, but I won't go to these lengths to do so. That makes me wonder though...how on earth they bloomed up there this year?? We have had a lot more moisture than previous years, but still a delightful surprise to see a beautiful flower in my favorite hiking spot.
