You might think of Alaska as a land of glaciers. But, when the ice and snow melt, a wealth of colorful wildflowers takes its place. While many flowers blossom in May, some will not bloom until June. Some of these photos were taken at a neighborhood nursery, some were taken while traveling, and others were taken right in my own backyard.
