Comments	It's a great time to visit Crescent Mountain, especially for the profuse bear grass (Xerophyllum tenax) which dominates the meadows. Blooming in the forest: lots of bunchberry (Cornus pumila), thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus), western white anemone (Anemone deltoidea), vanilla leaf (Achlys triphylla), Pacific bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa), valerian (Valeriana sp.), queen's cup (Clintonia uniflora), foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia), western columbine (Aquilegia formosa), spotted coralroot (Corallorhiza maculata), western coralroot (Corallorhiza mertensiana), and western starflower (Trientalis latifolia). Blooming in the meadows: the aforementioned bear grass (!), lots of bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), lupine (Lupinus sp.), tall bluebells (Mertensia paniculata), western columbine (Aquilegia formosa), Menzies' larkspur (Delphinium menziesii), harsh paintbrush (Castilleja hispida), Oregon sunshine (Eriophyllum lanatum), Subalpine mariposa lily (Calochortus subalpinus), yarrow (Achillea millefolium), pink owl-clover (Orthocarpus imbricatus), Cardwell's penstemon (Penstemon cardwellii), Cascade aster (Aster ledophyllus), and cliff penstemon (Penstemon rupicola) near the summit.
