CommentsAs usual, the meadows are a bit muddy in the areas without boardwalks, but it is worth the effort to see these flowers! I expect that they should still be blooming for several weeks.

Blooming in the forest: thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus), western white anemone (Anemone deltoidea), bunchberry (Cornus pumila), candyflower (Claytonia sibirica), goatsbeard (Aruncus dioicus), Jacob's Ladder (Polemonium carneum), vanilla leaf (Achlys triphylla), Pacific bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa), salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), valerian (Valeriana sp.), queen's cup (Clintonia uniflora), starry false Solomon's Seal (Maianthemum stellatum), foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia), woods strawberry (Fragaria vesca), and Youth-On-Age (Tolmiea mensziesii).

Blooming in the meadows: elephanthead lousewort (Pedicularis groenlandica), western bistort (Polygonum bistortoides), few-flowered shooting star (Dodecatheon pulchellum), western columbine (Aquilegia formosa), Menzies' larkspur (Delphinium menziesii), arrow-leaf groundsel (Senecio triangularis), tall bluebells (Mertensia paniculata), yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus), harsh paintbrush (Castilleja hispida), Lewis' monkeyflower (Mimulus lewisii), Oregon saxifrage (Saxifraga oregana), and cow parsnip (Heracleum maximum). False Hellebore (Veratrum californicum) just starting.
