| Comments | The Eagle Creek trail is in bloom!
Blooming in the open areas: Fringecup (Tellima grandiflora), Rusty Saxifrage (Saxifraga ferruginea), Common Monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus), Small-Flowered Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia parviflora), Large-Flowered Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia grandiflora), Western Meadowrue (Thalictrum occidentale), Checker Lily (Fritillaria affinis), Bigroot (Marah oreganus), Naked Broomrape (Orobanche uniflora), and Rosy Plectritis (Plectritis congesta). Blooming in shaded/forested areas: Wood Violet (Viola glabella), Pacific Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa), Woodland Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana), Hooker`s Fairybells (Disporum hookeri), Candyflower (Claytonia sibirica), False Solomon`s Seal (Maianthemum racemosum), Big-Leaf Sandwort (Moehringia macrophylla), Piggy-Back Plant (Tolmiea menziesii), and Pacific Starflower (Trientalis borealis ssp. latifolia). I also saw a few Fairyslipper (Calypso bulbosa). Blooming on the cliffs: Northwestern Saxifrage (Saxifraga integrifolia), Merten`s Saxifrage (Saxifraga mertensiana), Rusty Saxifrage (Saxifraga ferruginea), Chickweed Monkeyflower (Mimulus alsinoides), Common Monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus), and lots of Few-Flowered Shooting Star (Dodecatheon pulchellum). Most of the latter were past peak, but there were still a few dozen that looked good. Blooming on the slopes alongside the cliff-side trail sections: profuse amounts of Rosy Plectritis (Plectritis congesta) and Rockslide Larkspur (Delphinium glareosum). Those two continue beyond the cliff-side trail sections, and are joined by Martindale`s Desert Parsley (Lomatium martindalei), Common Monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus), Small-flowered Prairie Stars (Lithophragma parviflorum), Gold Stars (Crocidium multicaule), more Large-Flowered Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia grandiflora), and Large-Leaf Avens (Geum macrophyllum). I also saw a good amount of Long-tailed Ginger (Asarum caudatum) blooming along the spur trail to the Metlako Falls viewpoint. |
