RHH's photos with the keyword: few-flowered shooting star

I posted the white form of the Few-flowered Shooting Star a few days ago (see inset). This is the ordinary pink form, though a paler example. This, like the other, was photographed in the area of Medical Lake, Washington.

The Few-flowered Shooting Star, Dodecatheon pulchellum, is usually found in its common pink form, but this is the white form, which is rarer. We found these in eastern Washington near Medical Lake, a few white-flowered plants among many others. We were out photographing wildflowers in an open woodland and these were the find of the day - found by my wife who has a sharper eye for such things than I do. We also forgot it was tick season - we found six ticks on ourselves afterward, though none of them had begun to bite.

Dodecatheon pulchellum is another early spring wildflower that we have found both in eastern and western Washington. Fairly common but always beautiful, these were photographed in Washington Park near Anacortes. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2013/04/spring-wild...
