This was the best wildflower shot I could muster from a visit to the Grand Mesa back in mid-July. I believe this is Fireweed. I didn't notice the ants at the top of the bloom until after I viewed the slide with my loupe. There was a lot of Lupine and Corn Lilly in bloom up there as well.

Nikon N80
Nikkor 50mm
Fuji Astia 100F

Long live the famous Fireweed always found at the end of wildflower season! This one is captured well!
