| Comments | Although it is still early, there are already a fair number of species in bloom:
There are many Roundleaf violet (Viola orbiculata), Early Blue violet (Viola adunca), and Wild Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) along the initial section of the old road. Just beyond the intersection of the old road and the Meadow's Edge Trail, there is a large patch of Glacier Lily (Erythronium grandiflorum) starting to bloom.
In the north meadow below the summit, there is a large group of Oregon Fawn Lily (Erythronium oregonum) in bloom. There are lupine leaves everywhere, but no inflorescence yet. At the summit there is a carpet of Spring Gold (Lomatium utriculatum), along with lots of Cliff Larkspur (Delphinium menziesii) and patches of Spreading Phlox (Phlox diffusa). Along the old road just below the summit there is Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja miniata) just starting to bloom, along with lots of Small-Flowered Blue-Eyed Mary (Collinsia parviflora), more Spreading Phlox, Catchfly (Silene douglasii), Western Buttercup (Ranunculus occidentalis var. occidentalis), and Rough Wallflower (Erysium asperum). Penstemon leaves are visible, but there are no blooms yet. |
