Here a few of the beautiful flowers of the Yellowstone trip.  I think these are their names.  I am very weak on flora names even though I am attracted to beautiful flowers.

Buttercup  ??

 Bracted Lousewort ??

 Richardson's Geranium

 Buckwheat??

 Harebells

 Rosy Pussytoes

 Shining Penstemon

 Prairie Smoke

 Lewis' Monkey-flower

 Indian Paintbrush

 A Thimble berry blossom with a beetle enjoying it.

Great photos. I think you did fine on the names.
Wow, looks a lot like my Yellowstone flower photos! :o) That first flower, the yellow one, is one of the cinquefoils I believe, from the rose family. The lousewort ID is correct, and the buckwheat too. I could spent a lifetime exploring Yellowstone's wildflowers, let alone the wildlife.
