Flowers in full bloom: Dicentra formosa (western bleeding heart), Lysichitum americanum (skunk cabbage), Corydalis scouleri (western corydalis), Streptopus amplexifolius (twisted stalk), Disporum smithii (Fairy Lanterns), Hydrophyllum tenuipes (Pacific Waterleaf), An unknown saxifrage, Tolmiea menziesii (youth-on-age or piggyback plant), Oxalis oregana (Oregon Wood Sorrel), Sambucus racemosa (red elderberry) Rubus spectabilis (salmonberry), and Claytonia sibirica (candyflower).

Just coming into bloom: Urtica dioica (stinging nettle).

Past peak bloom: Ranunculus uncinatus var. parviflorus (dissapointing buttercup), and Viola glabella (yellow wood violet).

Special note: This beautiful area was hit hard by the winter storms and part of the trail up to the waterfall was destroyed. It is no longer possible at this time to hike all the way to the waterfall (although you can still view it from a distance). Hhopefully there are plans to reconstruct this area. The plant life has been greatly impacted also; many trees were down etc. While still enjoyable, is not as pretty or floriferous as it normally is this time of year. Thankfully the landscape has already begun to heal.
