Paul Martin's post "a cold morning in boulder" from last week showed the conditions.

Josh,
Drove by Chatauqua a few hours ago. Flowers remain very sparce. Don't know if they are late or just not going to happen this year.

Ya, I think the Chautauqua blooms got nipped this year by the late snows and colder weather. We're 2-3 weeks past the usual abundance, and as Jim said, it's pretty sparse. Bummer. :frown:

I agree with Scott about peak time ~ usually around the 3rd week of May. It's time to start exploring a bit higher, maybe the upper part of White Ranch Park as an example. Of course, the grasses around the Flatirons can be great too.
