Prairie Smoke - geum triflorumPrairie Smoke © 2011 Patty Hankins

I’ve recently added a new photo –  Prairie Smoke – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.

One of my favorite wildflowers I discovered my trip to Yellowstone National Park in June was Prairie Smoke (Geum Triflorum). When I first spotted it – I had no clue what it was – but I knew I wanted to take lots of photographs of it. I couldn’t remember ever seeing a wildflower with the combination of uniquely shaped flowers, fuzzy texture and fascinating leaf structure that reminded me of antlers!

I photographed the prairie smoke in the Lamar Valley section of Yellowstone National Park, which is where I found most of the wildflowers I photographed there. Next summer, I’m planning on spending more time in the Lamar Valley than I did on my trip this year. I’m really looking forward to discovering more Yellowstone wildflowers.

This photograph is available as  either at 10 X 10″ or 20 X 20″ gallery-wrapped canvas.  You can order Prairie Smoke from my website.
