In Explore October 10, 2011, #250. After a very busy few weeks I'm back at IMO. Enjoy the group but feel a bit out of my depth. I keep posting though in the hope of learning. This was originally posted on Flickr and at that time I wrote the following comments. Didn't even know whether I should post this. I have very mixed feelings about it, sometimes I like it and sometimes I think it's completely worthless. Thought I'd leave it to you to judge. This was taken on Hurricane Ridge In Olympic National Park on a day when we experienced very mixed weather with a lot of clouds and rain showers moving through very quickly. The flowers are Western Bistort, Polygonum bistortoides, a common alpine perennial in this area, with a few Slender Paintbrush mixed in, along with a few other wildflowers I haven't identified. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/09/olympic-nat...

Another wildflower from our Cascade Pass hike. Its botanical name is Polygonum bistortoides and it is very common in the mountains in our area and blooms all summer at different elevations. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/09/cascade-pas...
