Montana

I went to Montana last week for the opening of my family's new business, Intermountain Homes, and a family reunion of sorts. Of course much of my time was spent staring at local flora and fauna. I was absolutely determined to bring home one of the beautiful ferns I saw decorating the countryside. We spent a day in Butte - where my dad grew up, a day in Glacier National Park, and a day at Flathead Lake.  It was truly an inspirational trip for a plant obsessed, aspiring gardner.

I love moss

And water

The Mountain Goats at Glacier are amazing!

I looked to one of my favorite blogs, Montana Outdoors, to attempt to identify these little flowers. 

This one seems to be Indian Paintbrush

 Not sure about this one
