June - The Best Month for Discovering Flowers
April showers bring May flowers, but it seems like June is the peak flower viewing season in this part of Montana. On Wednesday, friends and I hiked in a gulch south of Helena and stumbled on Mountain Lady's Slippers, Cypripedium montanum. We've hiked in this area for years. Years go by with nary a sighting of a Lady's Slipper. But for the second time in 15 years or so, the Mountain Lady's Slippers are out in force.
