The Late Bloomers project is looking for observations of flowers blooming at unusual times in late summer or fall throughout Alaska.
We do not ever recall having flowers blooming this late in the year.
An afterschool club have been monitoring rosehips and found this late-blooming flower.
Late blooming Laughing Berry (Gaultheria shallon) in Metlakatla
Fairbanks rose bush blooming in early September, 2017.
Prickly rose plant is blooming when others have gone to hips.
Fireweed blooming in mid-late September after other plants have gone to seed.
During fall time, we only hand pick when the blackberries turn brown. As I was picking I saw this wild iris, like it bloomed just a few days ago. I was very awed to see this flower in October.
"They are extremely fresh-looking, as if it were the springtime."
Delphiniums (Delphinium glaucum) are still growing late in to the season.
Unusually warm September temperatures.

Anemone narcissiflora, which typically blooms in June, is experiencing a second bloom in Hatcher Pass.
