How the Colorado year breaks down
Counted, not claimed
Something in the Colorado list is in bloom from March through November, and June is the peak — 32 of the 59 species are flowering then.
17 of them are caterpillar host plants and 11 support specialist bees — the ones that do the most work in Colorado yards.
Across the twelve Colorado month pages the reference side draws on 6 wildflowers, 6 trees, 6 butterflies and 7 things coming into season locally.

The set, or the pieces
Both are honest ways to buy the Colorado editions
| One at a time | Colorado Nature Year 2027 + Journal | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Whichever single Colorado edition you pick | Both, together |
| Checkouts | One for each — there is no cart here | One, for the whole Colorado set |
| What it costs | $48.00 for the two apart | $42.00, saving $6.00 |
| The weekly note | Included with the Colorado Nature Year | Included here too — it comes with the year |
| If you only want one | Buy it on its own; every Colorado edition is sold separately | The set is only worth it if all of it is new to you |
Before you buy
Who this is for
Made for
- Someone who wants the whole Colorado year and somewhere to record it
- Anyone buying the Colorado Nature Year who would have come back for the journal anyway
- Households where more than one person in Colorado goes outside
Not for
- Anyone who only wants to read Colorado month by month — the free Colorado pages already do that
- Anyone who does not print; most of what is here is made for paper
Everything here describes typical timing across Colorado, drawn from long-run records — weather, elevation and how close you are to water all move the real dates around. So the Colorado pages say "usually early May" and never "May 4th", which is not hedging but the most the data can honestly carry.
Questions
Before you decide
What exactly is in the Colorado set?
Colorado Nature Year 2027 and The Colorado Nature Journal — every file each of them contains.
What if I already own one of these Colorado editions?
Then buy the others on their own — the Colorado set only saves money if all of it is new to you, and we would rather say so than take $42.00 for a file you already have.
Is this cheaper than buying the Colorado editions one at a time?
Yes — $42.00 rather than $48.00, a saving of $6.00. There is no cart here, so buying them apart also means checking out 2 separate times.
Do the Colorado files arrive together?
They arrive as one download list on one page — 12 files in all for Colorado, each downloadable on its own, and the link re-opens for 72 hours.
How accurate is the timing for Colorado?
It describes typical timing across Colorado drawn from long-run records, and because weather, elevation and habitat move real Colorado dates around it says "usually early May" rather than "May 4th".
Is it worth paying when the Colorado pages here are free?
The free Colorado pages are the month you are in; these are the Colorado editions around them — planned before the year arrives, and printable, so you are not holding a screen in the garden.
Will it work for my part of Colorado, or just the big cities?
It is written at state resolution — Colorado as a whole, with regional notes where Colorado genuinely differs end to end, and nothing behind it is recorded finely enough to honestly promise more than that.
What format is the Colorado edition, and can I print it?
A PDF laid out for both Letter and A4, one page per sheet — printing it is the point, since the Colorado pages are made to be carried outside.
What if the Colorado set is not what I expected?
Email hello@birchcompass.com within 30 days for a full refund on the Colorado edition, and keep the files either way — asking for them back would be theatre.
Everything in this set is also sold on its own — Colorado Nature Year 2027 and The Colorado Nature Journal — and the free Colorado pages cover this month either way.
