Manning Provincial Park

The immature fruiting heads of Anemone occidentalis were a common sight in the alpine meadows of Manning Provincial Park last weekend. There was little “colour” in the meadows at the time, other than sporadic patches of Veronica cusickii (Cusick's speedwell) and mats of Phlox diffusa. The paintbrushes of Paintbrush Trail were just starting to bloom, so mid-July would be an ideal time to return to see them.

To see what the area and plants will look like in the upcoming weeks, visit John Harvey's flowers of Manning Park.
