Need help with wildflower ID

[The Other Tom]

We had a wonderful trip in Yosemite in mid July. I've finally gone through 500 photos and need help identifying some wildflowers. Any experts out there ?

Pic one. I'm pretty sure this is indian paintbrush but would like validation.


Pic two
We saw these everywhere, usually around rock outcropings


Pic three
We found these in a bog along Glacier Point Road


Pic four


Pic five
Found on the trail from May Lake to Mt. Hoffman (nope, didn't make it to the top)


Pic Five
Delicate flower in TM


Pic six
OK, maybe not a flower, but interesting none the less

1. Yes
2 Looks like Heather? but can't tell from the foliage. Found around alpline lakes.
3. Tall plants are Corn lily, flowers blooming look like Shooting Stars.

Off to work.

2. I would guess heather also
3. showy penstemon? Phacelia? Hard to tell without zooming in
5. (delicate) larkspur

[oldranger]

1. correct
2. I have no sense of scale to hazzard a guess
3. Looks like jeffry shooting stars to me
4. Goldenrod?
5. phlox (but specifically what kind is beyond me)
2nd #5. ???:?
6. Grasses other than Idaho fescue are way beyond me

I'm sure Tehipite Tom can set us all straight!

Thanks everyone !!

Once back home, your overexposed yellow flowers took less than a minute to find in one of my flower books, railardella scaposa, greenleaf railardella.
