Comments	As with other locations in the eastern Gorge, the Northwestern Balsamroot (Balsamorhiza deltoidea) has started blooming, well ahead of schedule. I estimate that it will be at peak in 2-3 weeks. Also blooming are: profuse amounts of Large-flowered Blue-eyed Mary (Collinsia grandiflora), Gold Star Crocidium multicaule, Small-flowered Blue-eyed Mary (Collinsia parviflora), Upland Larkspur (Delphinium nuttallianum), Western Buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis var. occidentalis), Smooth Prairie Star (Lithophragma glabra), Northwestern Saxifrage (Saxifraga integrifolia), Miners Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata), Manroot (Marah oreganus), Ball-Head Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum capitatum var. thompsonii), Oaks Toothwort (Cardamine nuttallii var. nuttallii), Glacier Lily (Erythronium grandiflorum), and a few remaining Grass Widows (Olsynium douglasii).
