Walter and Sara Let the good times roll
When we set off for 2 months in Alaska I really hadn't expected to see that many wildflowers. I was focused on wildlife and mountains and glaciers. Little did I know that day after day I'd see flowers I'd never seen before and that by the time I'd waded through all my photos I'd have identified 145 different species of flowers. Here they all are, sorted by common name. If you prefer your lists sorted by botanical name just go to the bottom of the page and you'll find all these flowers sorted that way but without the photos.
