CommentsSummit Trail: Upland Larkspur (Delphinium nuttallianum), Western Buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis var. occidentalis), Oregon Iris (Iris tenax), Popcorn Flower (Plagiobothrys sp.), Fork-Toothed Ookow (Dichelostemma congestum), lots of Rose Checker-Mallow (Sidalcea malviflora ssp. virgata), a profusion of Narrowleaf Onion (Allium amplectens) along the upper portion of the trail, Cat's-Ear Lily (Calochortus subalpinus), Manroot (Marah oregonus), Monkey Flower (Mimulus guttatus) where the power lines cross the trail. Still some Great Hound's-Tongue (Cynoglossum grande) and Wild Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana var. platypetala) in the oaks beneath the summit.

Arboretum: Western Buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis var. occidentalis), Candyflower (Claytonia sibirica), plenty of Tall Larkspur (Delphinium trolliifolium) and Pacific Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa) along the Water Garden Trail, Fringe Cup (Tellima grandiflora), Red Columbine (Aquilegia formosa), Western Sweet-Cicely (Osmorhiza occidentalis), Nuttall’s Toothwort (Cardamine nuttalli var. nuttallii), Stream Violet (Viola glabella), Tall Oregon-Grape (Berberis aquifolium), Thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus), Western Meadowrue (Thalictrum occidentale), Manroot (Marah oregonus), False Solomon's-Seal (Maianthemum racemosum), lots of Inside-Out Flower (Vancouveria hexandra) at the north end of the Adkison Bridge, Disappointing Buttercup (Ranunculus uncinatus), and Pacific Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum tenuipes). Blooming along the Incense Cedar Trail are Cat's-Ear Lily (Calochortus subalpinus), Striped Coral Root (Corallorhiza striata), several remaining Fairy Slipper (Calypso Bulbosa), Western Snake Root (Sanicula crassicaulis), Oregon Iris (Iris tenax), Large-flowered Nemophila (Nemophila menziesii var. atomaria), and Wild Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana var. platypetala). Common Camas (Camassia quamash) has mostly gone to seed.
