- For many people Crested Butte, Colorado is a winter wonderland, but during the summers, there's another spectacular site that has people heading for the hills: wonderous wildflowers. The blooms are so celebrated here, there's even an annual festival. Mo Rocca visits this former mining town to learn why it's the "wildflower capital" of Colorado.

What beauty!!
Beyond words.
What a stunning sight. Sooo beautiful.
Being a gardener this is another example of how beautiful Mother Nature is!
This is one of the loveliest segments I have ever seen on Sunday Morning.
Kudos to producer Michelle Kessel and her production staff!
We’ll said. It’s really wonderful.
Adding to my bucket list!
Just think about being out there, on a picnic, enjoying the flowers and weather. Simple peace.
So the town went down to 150 to 200 residents what kept it alive and thriving to this day tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of bees thank you mother nature.
Spectacular - Both the wildflowers and paintings!
Beautiful paintings and beautiful wild flowers in Colorado.
So beautiful
Glad they have a no picking rule
Let the flowers live 💐
Breathtakingly beautiful. Love this 'wild' side of Colorado!
We love to see how the wildflowers here bring people together!
Beautiful flowers, I wish live there open windows smell flowers, peace place 🌹🤗
I now live in Argentina because my family lives here however I am so thankful I can still watch CBS Sunday Morning and many other stations. Beautiful flowers very healing for such a time as this.
"Gotta paint fast". I love that the segment ended with that! See all of life, take it all in, capture it like these paintings if you have that talent.. just never take it for granted!
Newly disabled, of many things that I miss and I'm sick and feeling sad about it, is hikes during this time of the year and finding little patches of wildflowers on the mountain sides here in the beautiful PNW.
Every season has its own beauty, never forget that we must conserve this for future generations!
hang in there. there are still so many things we can do!
Sending you wavelengths of wildflowers from Vermont,
I truly wish you a beautiful year with new ways to explore.
May nature find you any way it can, tending to a fish tank
or terrarium may be a way to enjoy a zen garden at your leisure.
There are many nature preserves that have easy access without going too far on the trail - especially ones for birdwatchers and the natural habitat is spectacular!
@@l.e.m.friedman5965 I know what u mean. Had attorney here in Missouri Ozarks for 9 yrs before I won my disability case. I was told you have to be over 52 and it helped that a judge from California flew in to adjudicate my case. When he saw how they had mistreated me during my previous hearings calling me poor, oportunic and not wanting to work. By that time I had already worked 25 years, paying into the system with each paycheck. The judge got really mad and made them date my case retroactively with Medicare and backpay checks. I would much rather work but here in my town and at my age they don't want to hire someone who has to use a walker and is in chronic pain 24/7. If you have a good attorney that helps but really good medical documentation by your doctors will help the most. Don't give up- or be discouraged.
@@beadmore Roberta Vann I would have persued it more but my Husband a Special Needs Teacher for High School in NM. Had heart issues and developed End Stage Renal Disease in Jan 2011. He died in the Summer of 2013 . I was caretaking Him. And still had my youngest and Last Daughter in a local College. I gave her Her freedom as much as I could to go stay with girl friends and be a College
Student. My husband and I were married 34 years. I worked all the way thru our marriage. I got "corkscrewed" by the local school district and the Vice Superintendent of Schools. My Husband was short by a week of having his full pension.I could have bought into it for about $1,400. I was never told that.I only found out about it in April,This year. I am not sure what I can do The Vice Superintendent of Schools who "neglected" to tell me that I could buy that last week to get my husband's pension. Died last year in June. might Just be worth talking to a Lawyer one last time. Thanks.👍
WOW. That's the most beautiful thing I've seen. How great to live or at least be able to visit such a magnificent place. I love flowers and those wildflowers are so well WOW, is all I can say. God sure has a fantastic job making such beautiful wildflowers. God bless.
Beautiful
My grandparents started out in Crested Butte in 1904 when they came through Ellis Island from a mountainous area of Croatia. I wonder if this beauty reminded them of home. I hope their life in a mining town wasn't too hard. The flowers must have helped. At least the "Sneeze Weed".
I had the pleasure to visit Croatia, love it, its people are my favorite! Your parents, I am sure, there were nice as everyone in that gorgeous country.
Oh my goodness,I’m from Southern California,my favorite thing to do was go to the Anza -Borego desert and see the spectacular wildflowers in their beautiful glory ,this is simply lovely .
Thank you! Lived in Denver, spent a three day weekend with the first two of our eventual four children. Up and around Crested Butte. One of the most beautiful places in Colorado. Always changing with the seasons.Thank You. A lovely story.
Bucket list stuff going in person.
While it was lightly touched on in reference to the bees, this area and many others, are magical in their seasonal migrations. I could almost tell you the day without a calendar on birds, butterflies and blooms on my ranch farther south. Not as colorful but will always bring me peace.
New Birth's Wildflower should be playing in the backdrop!
Great article!!
The hills are alive with the sound of Wildflowers…. ♥️
Nearby Lead King Basin is where a portion of my parents ashes reside. It’s because of the beauty of the wildflowers there in July. I plan on my ashes also being scattered there.
Absolutely breathtaking.
Thank you Glo… as a physically challenged individual who is passionate about gardening and native plants.
I was just in Colorado last week and marveled at all the wildflowers. This segment was spectacular! I got to enjoy even more than what I saw in person. Crested Butte is on my list for next year’s travels. Thank you. 👍
One more time, thanks to Mo and team for an incredible segment! Keep it up!
The Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Garden in Texas is another one to see. She was responsible for freeways to be left in their natural state with wildflowers spared and minimum mowing.
I see Lupine love the color
Wildflowers are beautiful yes, but more importantly they serve as MAJOR pollinators for the Bee population. Bees also serve as the pollinators for the various crops that feed the WORLD!
Awesome! I’ve met Ms Cunningham, many times through my Uncle. She is an interesting lady. Down to earth and well traveled.
Wonderful presentation. The beauty of Nature, should cause us to be more respectful. Keep giving us beauty, it needed in these less colorful days.
Thank you for that wonderful story and hope you know how much I appreciate you all. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
Yes, stay on the trail! Here in NH when the lupines come out, people trash the beauty by trampling all over the flowers for that selfie. 😟
Beautiful 🥰
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
Love all the wildflowers and to sit outside and paint this scenery is marvelous.
Everything I've seen about Crested Butte Colorado has been breath taking.
🐝 💐 🐝
There's a reason we call it
"Colorful Colorado". 🤩 💜 💚💛🧡💙🤩
Have you heard the latest Buzz? The Bees Are Back In Town!!!😁😎
Beautiful ❤️🥰
Fun fact - Heidi from The Hills, her family is from Crested Butte
Crested Butte's elevation is almost 9000', so if you live at a much lower elevation, make sure to gain elevation over several days so your body can acclimatize to the lower oxygen levels.
Well done ! Looking forward to 2023!
Envy you guys video its to short
💕❤✌
The any flowers are beauty of the World.The wild flowers beauty came from the Nature.What makes people happy the flowers you can't image the World without them.
Love CB in the winter, looks like I'll have to visit in the summer too!
Dandelions are one of the first to flower! And because of that it is is very important for bees. Dandelions fill that empty space in time where it’s warm enough for bees to fly, but there’s very few flowers. Weeds grow first in spring and bloom first, and keep blooming! Try planting a set of 3 in your garden
Thank you for sharing..
Thank you, bless you 🙂🙏❤️
It's stunning this year due to the late rains.
It is beautiful.
lovely. glad for repect paid to dandylions.
Hey Mo Rocha.
6:06 A look back on Tony Dow and Paul Sorvino later on Sunday Morning
the place closest to heaven on earth
Is fireweed the same as rosebay willowherb?
Such a shame, you missed the opportunity to say graupel on air! It wasn't hail, it was graupel!
❤️
Picking flowers is killing them, buy seeds and grow your own.
This is the reason why we should take climate change seriously. In few years this maybe gone too.
Weird outfit old man
Who dressed Mo this morning? Shame on you.
Another great place where the rich are kicking out the poor. Sorry u can't afford to call this place home anymore. Look at the big picture. No more water!
Wildflower is a term that is meaningless, and Crested Butte should know better. Dandelions and clover can be considered wildflowers, but they're non-native weeds. Native plant festival would be better but whatever.
Two years in a row I have tried to grow wildflowers in my flowerbeds. I have had a little luck but not as many as I want.
Will try again in 2023.💐🌸💮🏵🌺🥀🌻🌼🌷⚘️🐝🐞🐛🦋🌞🌦🌥🌧
