alpine primrose, Primula angustifolia
This wonderful alpine grows only in the higher mountains. It looks like it would be a compelling sight in a rock garden. Many have tried, few succeeded. Those that did grew these in containers under glass. Strange to think a plant tough enough to thrive at 12,000 feet would be so persnickety. Mt. Evans National Park, Clear Creek Co CO, 6/18/13. Primrose family, Primulaceae.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
