Geeking out... on flowers

I've been tackling one hike at a time in my "100 Hikes in the Central Oregon Cascades" book.. Aside from the awesome views I've managed to enjoy, I've had the opportunity to ID some of the native flowers that grow in Oregon. As I take more pictures, I'll keep adding them HERE...
  • Monkey Flower
  • Bleeding Heart
  • Smith's Fairybells or Fairy Lanterns
  • Columbine
  • Salmonberry
  • Wild Camas
  • Oregon Iris
  • Avalanche Lilly
  • False Solomonseal or Star-Flowered Solomonseal
  • Skunk Cabbage
  • Wood Sorrel or Sourgrass
  • Spring Beauty or Candyflower
  • Trillium
  • Balsam Root
  • Larkspur
  • Lady Slipper
  • Paintbrush
