These beautiful, bright and sunny wildflowers are known commonly as balsamroot, or scientifically called Balsamorhiza. They are a member of the sunflower family and make a stunning foreground for a photo of the Teton mountain range. They are a golden flag for the Spring season and provide food for many grass and plant eating animals such as deer, elk, pronghorn and bighorn sheep. There were many grassy valleys and hillsides inundated with large tufts of golden flowers, and they appear in so many of my wildlife photos. They wildflowers really brightened up my trip and I hope they brighten up your weekend, have a great one everyone!
Gorgeous photo! I have never been to the Tetons, I hear that they are beautiful, that would be a dream to see them. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Margaret,
I think you would find them stunning. The sunsets behind the Tetons transformed the sky into so many wonderful colors. It was such a picturesque landscape.
I hope one day you get it visit them.
