Few-Flowered Shooting Star

Dodecatheon pulchellum, the Few-Flowered Shooting Star, is one of our native wild-flowers that we travel to see every spring. This plant was photographed in Washington Park near Anacortes, where is grows by the thousands on the edge of the rocks at the sea-side within reach of salty spray and waves. It is quite a sight to see all of them blooming at the same time, and certainly worth the nearly two-hour trip from our home.
