I've never come across so many flowers in the meadows of Moraine Park as I've seen this June! I would attribute this in part to the torrential rains we received last September, and to this winter's abundant snowfall. However, this is also one of the areas that burned in the Fern Lake Fire several years ago, so the shot of nutrients produced by that fire is surely another factor. In any case, the area is incredibly beautiful!
