Another spring wildflower from our area, this is the Large-flowered Brodiaea.

These were photographed along the Smith River in Jedediah Smith State Park near Crescent City, California.

These are photos of a few of the wildflowers we found at Catherine Creek Natural Area. The area is along the Columbia River and we visited there before following the Columbia further west and crossing into Oregon.

These were photographed on Manastash Ridge (see previous posts) where they were growing in profusion. My wildflower book lists them as uncommon but they certainly were not in this location. They are also known as Brodieaea douglasii, the Large-flowered Brodiaea. They belong to the lily family, are perennial, grow to about a foot and a half in height and bloom in the spring.
