| Comments | Many wildflowers are blooming at Crescent Mountain! Although the bear grass (Xerophyllum tenax) is not quite as robust as last year, it is very profuse in the meadows and continues along the trail beyond the meadows to the summit.
Blooming in the forest: bunchberry (Cornus pumila), thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus), western white anemone (Anemone deltoidea), Pacific bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa), queen's cup (Clintonia uniflora), foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia), western columbine (Aquilegia formosa), spotted coralroot (Corallorhiza maculata), western coralroot (Corallorhiza mertensiana), western starflower (Trientalis latifolia), candystick (Allotropa virgata), pinesap (Monotropa hypopithys), heart-leaved pyrola (Pyrola asarifolia), and one-sided wintergreen (Pyrola secunda). Blooming in the meadows: the aforementioned bear grass, scarlet gilia (pomopsis aggregata), profuse bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), lupine (Lupinus sp.), western columbine (Aquilegia formosa), Menzies' larkspur (Delphinium menziesii), harsh paintbrush (Castilleja hispida), Oregon sunshine (Eriophyllum lanatum), Cascade aster (Aster ledophyllus), Subalpine mariposa lily (Calochortus subalpinus), tall bluebells (Mertensia paniculata), yarrow (Achillea millefolium), pink owl-clover (Orthocarpus imbricatus), orange agoseris (Agoseris aurantiaca), Cardwell's penstemon (Penstemon cardwellii), mountain strawberry (Fragaria virginiana), a few Cascade lily (Lilium washingtonianum), and cliff penstemon (Penstemon rupicola) near the summit. |
