Wildflowers in the Coeur d’Alenes

Here are the wildflowers (besides the Bear Grass) that I found on the June 4 hike in the Coeur d’Alene Mountains;

Low Jacob’s-ladder ~ Polemonium californicum

Smallflower Miterwort ~ Ozomelis stauropetala

Kinnikinnik ~ Arctostaphylos uva-ursi

Prickly Currant ~ Ribes lacustre

Canary Violet ~ Viola praemorsa

Baneberry ~ Actaea rubra

Pacific Trillium ~ Trillium Ovatum (These have disappeared at the valley level and at the end of their bloom no up high)

Western Meadow-rue ~ Thalictrum occidentale

Roundleaf Alumroot ~ Heuchera cylindrica

Little Thompson Peak (4)

Nature seems to have a special fondness for the bare areas just off the very top of mountain peaks on their south sides and often adorns such places with flowers.

Arrowleaf Buckwheat, Northern Buckwheat, Eriogonum compositum

Douglas Buckwheat, Eriogonum douglasii

Menzies’ Campion, Silene menziesii

Roundleaf Alumroot, Lava Alumroot, Heuchera cylindric
