Also in flower: western buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis), small-flowered buttercup (Ranunculus uncinatus var. parviflorus), death camas (Zigadenus venenosus var. venenosus), western serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia var. semiintegrifolia), fringecup (Tellima grandiflora), straight-beak buttercup (Ranunculus orthorhynchus), tall camas (Camassia leichtlinii ssp. suksdorfii), prairie saxifrage (Saxifraga integrifolia), large-leaved avens (Geum macrophyllum), meadow deervetch (Lotus pinnatus), bastard toadflax (Commandra umbellata), broadpetal strawberry (Fragaria virginiana var. platypetala), fragrant popcorn flower (Plagiobothrys figuratus), and broadleaf lupine (Lupinus latifolius). I saw one Oregon iris (Iris tenax), and cow-parsnip (Heracleum lanatum) in flower. A handful of Bradshaw's lomatium (Lomatium bradshawii) and Willamette Valley bittercress (Cardamine penduliflora) still in bloom.
