I took pictures of these flowers at the base of Mt. Engineer in SW Colorado on 7 August 2006. Please help me identify them. Thanks

I live in CA and don't have a lot of experience with CO flowers, but based on your pictures, here are some general families that your flowers belong to.
The first is some sort of paintbrush: Indian paintbrush, scarlet paintbrush, something along those lines.
The second is a geranium of some sort. (The things we call geranium in our gardens are a completely different plant, rightly called a pelargonium.)
The third looks like possibly some sort of coneflower, which is the echinacea family.
Try checking these out in a wildflower guide.

I agree with sanomanona on a couple things. First I'd get a wildflower guide. The first pic is an indian paintbrush. The second is in the mallow family and the third looks like a western daisy. Great pics!!

do not difficulty some poster. each and every few days, whilst the flower shipments are available in, ask a clothier, or ask the owner, in case you may help unpack them, or in the event that they are going to take you in the process the cooler and % out each and every new flower type. the owner would be inspired with your desire to learn. The designers would be venerated which you asked to be their student. the two would be happy you volunteered to help them do a a job they think approximately boring.

I'm sorry i couldn't help, but the photos are beautiful, you really should think about taking more photo's and making a book of them with the names and where they originate from..

I think the one in the middle is columbine, and the last one is either a daisy or an aster.

Good pix! I think that the ink or lavender one is a bachelor button.
