The lava in which this Sulfur Buckwheat is growing is clearly seen in the photo, taken at Lava Butte in Newberry National Volcanic Monument in Oregon.

This is another wildflower from the Washington part of our recent trip, the Sulphur-flower Buckwheat is common but a brightens the landscape when there is not a lot else blooming. The photos were taken in Dry Falls State Park and along the Old Blewett Road in Blewett Pass. I've been away for a few days backbacking with my wife and oldest daughter. She had not been backpacking before and so we took her on a less scenic but also easier trail, the Thunder Creek trail in the North Cascades. We did about 22 miles in two days and camped one night.

Sulphur-flower Buckwheat is a bright addition to the summer landscape in the drier areas of Washington. These were photographed in Dry Falls State Park in central Washington.
