Southern Colorado

We spent several days in southern Colorado stopping at Trinidad Lake State Park, Cucharas Pass, La Veta and Great Sand Dunes National Park.  Latrer we were in the San Juan Mountains, not really doing wildflower photography, and acme upon one new species near Silverton, Cirsium parryi. In all, we found 14 new species for the website. 
Please contact us with comments and if you see errors in identification.
