Wildflowers (PDF Version)
Common and scientific names come from the following book:
Welsh, Stanley L., Atwood, N. Duane, Goodrich, Shrerel, and Higgins, Larry C. Editors, 2016.
A Utah Flora, Fifth Edition Revised 2015
Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah
Many thanks to Susan, Carol, Walt and others who helped in identifying some
of the flowers. I am no botanist, so any corrections or suggestions
are most welcome by the author.
An annotated Checklist of Vascular Flora for Capitol Reef was completed
in 2009 and lists several hundred wildflowers that have been found
within the park boundaries. This list came out of a study that had
included a comprehensive review of most of the botanical surveys done in the park.
Appendix A is the most comprehensive plant checklist prepared to date for
Capitol Reef National Park and is a valuable aid to professionals and amateurs alike.
Each year additional species and pictures will be added and so
this is a long term project, but that is okay because visiting
Capitol Reef is always a pleasure.
