Wildflowers are in bloom

One of my favorite parts of this job, is seeing the wildflowers in bloom. I think there is almost nothing more beautiful than mountain wildflowers in bloom in the high country. This year I was told about a flower I had been riding past for year’s. It is called an elephants head. I was sure that the person telling me, Julie, was pulling my leg as I have been known to “pull a leg” or two, but when I queried almost everyone around and almost unanimously they had all heard of it and then she showed me the flower, I was amazed. I have set it as a goal to take as many pics as possible of wildflowers and get there pics with names on our site. See below the ones I have gotten so far. Note apparently I will need a different camera to go much further with the project, but I think you can at least get an idea of the colors. Any help in naming the flowers would be greatly appreciated.
