Heaven in a Wild Flower

To see a World in a Grain of Sand 

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, 

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand 

And Eternity in an hour.

- from "Auguries of Innocence" by William Blake

Thank you Dr. Mary L. Dubler, DVM, for your comprehensive collection of photographs.  You made flower identification less daunting :-)

My photographs were taken yesterday (25 June) at the Reservoir Ridge in Fort Collins.
