A COLLECTION
OF PHOTOGRAPHS
OF WASATCH
FRONT WILDFLOWERS
The photographs on the following pages are of Utah wildflowers
taken recently with a digital camera by Mort and Carolyn Somer. We
provide them to augment the information on the Wasatch
Audubon Society web-site. Like most wildflowers,
the blooming season for these flowers is short. The date and location
of the photographs will give you some idea of when and where to look for
the flowers. We hope these photos increase your appreciation for
some of the often unnoticed treasures found along the Western Wasatch Mountains.
The web pages are identified by location and date. Additional pages will be added as pictures are available. The pages to date are:
