| Comments | The hanging meadows look beautiful right, covered by Rosy Plectritis and Monkeyflower. Please see Cameron Brown`s photos in the Facebook group.
The following wildflowers are blooming along the first forested section of the trail: twinflower, inside-out flower, starflower, woods rose, thimbleberry, salal, woods strawberry, mountain arnica, windflower, candyflower, trailing blackberry. Tiger lily is in bud and should bloom in the near future. Blooming near the Native American burial pits: Nine-leaf desert parsley, rough wallflower, heart-leaf buckwheat, coast penstemon, and profuse broadleaf stonecrop (plus Orobanche) at the south end just before the trail re-enters the trees. Blooming along the steep switchbacks: vanillaleaf, inside-out flower, windflower, lots more arnica, spotted coralroot, arrowleaf agoseris, broadleaf stonecrop, starflower, some paintbrush, fringe cup, ookow starting, crevice alumroot, more woods roses, spring beauty, valerian, field chickweed. Blooming in the meadows: profuse amounts of monkeyflower, rosy plectritis, and bigroot, along with penstemon, nine-leaf desert parsley, paintbrush, large-flowered blue-eyed Mary, Oregon sunshine, arrowleaf groundsel, smooth woodland star, larkspur, buckwheat starting, and lots of tapertip onion (Allium acuminatum) about to open. |
