Welcome back to #wildflowerwednesday! This week, we’re spotlighting the stunning Scarlet Gilia, also known as Fairy Trumpet or Skyrocket. These vivid red beauties are monocarpic perennials, meaning they grow for several years but bloom only once before dying. In other words, you’ll never see the same Scarlet Gilia twice! Want to catch a glimpse of these vibrant blooms? Head over to Meander on the backside of the mountain, or check out the Snodgrass Trail, just a short distance from CBMR! As always, please remember to stay on the trail and don’t pick the wildflowers so we can enjoy these views year after year! Photos: taylorahrn #bewild #crestedbutte
