Hops growing in alamosa, Colorado

Here is a Hops plant we saw outside of an antique shop in Alamosa, Colorado.

The hops were huge - over an inch in length for each bud.

I had never seen hops growing before.

The leaves were slightly reddish and the plant was like a vine.

I know hops grow in the wild in Utah and in some parts of southern Wyoming.

Here again are the hops growing next to a gargoyle statue.
