Will have to pay attention to that detail the next time.....I think they are very pretty! In one of our travels, they were about two feet high! Thanks for the info.

It is also the one of the first plants to bloom in the springtime and the blooms will start at the bottom of the plant and work their way to the top by the end of summer. Looks like we still have a bit of summer left as the tips of the flowers aren't in bloom yet.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-47126014092903092412018-07-25T09:43:11.885-04:002018-07-25T09:43:11.885-04:00Yes, the views are fantastic and there are so many...Yes, the views are fantastic and there are so many of them too! :-)<br /><br />32°C, is starting to get a little on the hot side of things, it's not bad a breeze goe along with that.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-68938461647494007582018-07-24T15:49:47.335-04:002018-07-24T15:49:47.335-04:00Did Ruth lose her right leg walking on the beach?....Did Ruth lose her right leg walking on the beach?.

The river...Yes, we saw muddy rivers too in Alaska. The river's current were swift carrying lots of soil & probably rocks. The fireweeds were blooming at the very tippy top which meant winter was coming soon. A week after we left in late August, it snowed and buried the visitor center at Denali National Park where we had been. At night, it was cold including cold mornings. Surprisingly when we were there in winter, it wasn't as cold although the lakes and rivers were frozen on top. Cars were driving on frozen lakes. The Iditarod race started at Willow from a frozen lake top. I didn't realize I was walking on frozen lake until I overheard someone talking about it. There must have been a foot of snow on top of the frozen lake so we couldn't see it. Anyway, love the scenic drive.
