CommentsMiner's Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata) and Pacific Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum capitatum) blooming in the woods near the parking area. Small-flowered Blue-eyed Mary (Collinsia parviflora), Small-flowered Prairie Star (Lithophragma parviflorum), and Rigid Fiddleneck (Amsinckia menziesii var. menziesii) also blooming in the woods. Lots of lupine leaves along the trail, but no blooms yet. Above the woods there are some Grass Widows (Olsynium douglasii), Poet's Shooting Stars (Dodecatheon poeticum), Upland Larkspur (Delphinium nuttallianum), Pungent Desert Parsley (Lomatium grayi), Columbia Desert Parsley (Lomatium columbianum), and Western buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis). Several Panicled Death Camas (Zigadenus paniculatus) were starting to bloom, with LOTS more on the way.
