11x14 loose print of The Flatirons from Chautauqua
This beautiful flower goes by several common names:
yellow pea, false lupine, golden pea and buck bean. Botanists call it thermopsis montana.
In May, 2001, it was growing in profusion in Chautauqua meadow with Boulder’s Flatirons rising above.
I returned on five separate mornings to photograph the lush fields, but this, my favorite image, was shot on my last
try. Three days after shooting it, a powerful spring snowstorm buried the flowers under three inches of
snow and the Chautauqua meadow wildflower season was over for another year. Ah, springtime in the Rockies!
