A Collection of Colorado Wildflower
Photographs and Information
Welcome to Colorado Wildbuds
...a collection of Colorado wildflower photos taken around the state with most from the Rocky Mountains. We hope that you find the photos enjoyable and useful.
The website is organized to show the species by color, name and places where they were taken. There are 442 identified species and varieties on the site as of August 24, 2020.
Special thanks to Jane Hendrix, formerly of Breckenridge, for help in locating plants and their identification. To see her plant collection click on her two links on the About page.
Click on the images below to see our Recent Additions, our library of Wildflowers by Color and listings of wildflowers by family and name.
My objective in building this site is to present quality wildflower images with correct identifications and descriptions for others to reference, use and enjoy. A lot of care has been taken in plant identification but there are likely some mistakes. Please contact me if you find errors. Enjoy the photos. And be sure to check out my Texas Wildbuds website, too!
