I know there are at least three that are native the the Rockies in CO.
Has anyone ever found any? I'm going to explore this summer to try and see some.
Too bad we don't have any of the alpine ones up on the peaks- it's so neat to watch the other flowers shrink as you go higher- what was up to my waist down below is a ground cover at the summit!
I plan to go out myself this summer. Supposedly lots of species, but they don't really come into bloom until June or late May up here in NYC. We'll see.
