Grand Teton National Park

These arrowleaf balsamroot wildflowers, commonly known as Oregon sunflowers, have a grand view of the Grand Tetons from the valley below the towering range. The region’s harsh weather means that only the hardiest of wildflowers, such as the bright yellow arrowheads, can survive. The plants are drought tolerant, winter hardy, tenacious against being stepped on and even fire resistant, with a taproot which regenerates leaves and flowers after the top has burned.
