Comments	The wildflowers at Mosier Plateau look good now, and should improve during the next several weeks as the Northwest Balsamroot (Balsamorhiza deltoidea) reaches its peak. Flowers currently blooming include: Prairie Star (Lithophragma parviflorum), Fiddleneck (Amsinckia sp.), Pungent Desert Parsley (Lomatium grayi) especially on the slopes next to the creek, Slender Popcorn Flower (Plagiobothrys tenellus) which is especially profuse along the switchbacks, Nuttall`s Larkspur (Delphinium nuttallianum), Nine-Leaf Desert Parsley (Lomatium triternatum), Western Buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis), Small-Flowered Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia parviflora), Northwestern Saxifrage (Saxifraga integrifolia), Fringe Pod (Thysanocarpus curvipes), Miniature Lupine (Lupinus bicolor), Columbia Desert Parsley (Lomatium columbianum), Miner`s Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata ssp. perfoliata), Big-Head Clover (Trifolium macrocephalum), Naked Broomrape (Orobanche uniflora), Bigroot (Marah oreganus), Shooting Stars (Dodecatheon sp.), and Midget Phlox (Phlox gracilis). There are still a few Grass Widow (Olsynium douglasii) though they are mostly finished for the season.
