Well its officially mud season and Red Rocks is sure experiencing it. As usual I trekked over there. I couldn’t find the exact Red Maple again so I just found another nearby. This one is significantly less in bloom than the one I first found. Which makes me believe the first one I found was not doing things in phenological time correctly. Expecially when this one is more in line with others around it. Maybe it could be different aspects of weather causing slightly different blooming times in the same species.
