Day 284: The wildflowers are finally coming out at Mt. Rainier National Park! They're a little late this year. When the season arrives, everything bursts into bloom at once because the growing season is very short. Consequently, the alpine meadows are a riot of color. Here you see Penstemon, Indian Paintbrush and a species of native Aster, all vying for the attention of the pollinators...and for tourists as well.
