  • Triteleia grandiflora flowers bloom atop a leafless stem along the Wenaha River Trail, in the Blue Mountains, Umatilla National Forest, Oregon, USA. Triteleia grandiflora (Largeflower Tripletlily or Wild Hyacinth) is native to western North America from British Columbia to extreme northern California, eastward into Idaho, Montana and northern Utah, with patches in Wyoming and Colorado. This perennial herb grows from a corm. Each funnel-shaped flower bloom is on a pedicel 4 to 5 centimeters long. The flower may be up to 3.5 centimeters long including the tubular throat and six tepals each just over a centimeter long. The inner set of three tepals are ruffled and broader than the outer tepals. The flower corolla may be deep blue to almost white with a darker blue mid-vein. The six stamens have purple or yellow anthers.

  • Tragopogon dubius flower blooms on Wenaha River Trail, Blue Mountains, Umatilla National Forest, Oregon, USA. Tragopogon dubius (commonly known as Yellow Salsify, Western Salsify, Goatsbeard, or Wild Oysterplant) is native to southern and central Europe and western Asia. The seed head resembles that of a large dandelion. After introduction into North America, it spread widely (invasively) across the continental United States and most provinces of Canada. The flowers open early in the morning and often close up by late afternoon. Western Salsify (T. dubius) looks very similar to the commoner Meadow Salsify (T. pratensis) except the green bracts behind the yellow flower are longer and more noticeable. Although not closely related to Meadow Salsify or Common Salsify or Oyster Plant (T. porrifolius), the Western Salsify readily hybridizes with both, and in North America its hybrids have created the new alloploid hybrid species T. mirus and T. miscellus.

  • Watch for frequent Western Rattlesnakes on Imnaha River Trail, in Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, Imnaha, Oregon, USA. Crotalus viridis (commonly known as the Western Rattlesnake, Prairie or Plains Rattlesnake) is a venomous pit viper native to the western United States, southwestern Canada, and northern Mexico. The Western Rattlesnake is common in much of eastern Washington, and is Washington's only venomous snake. A rattlesnake bite seldom delivers enough venom to kill a human, although painful swelling and discoloration may occur. Distinctive features of the Western Rattlesnake include a broad, triangular head that is much wider than its neck; a diamond-shaped pattern along the middle of its back; and rattles on the tail tip. Color patterns differ with habitat, ranging from olive to brown to gray. Black and white crossbars may occur on the tail. Western rattlesnakes measure 18 inches to 4 feet at maturity. The number of segments on the rattle does not indicate the true age of the snake, since rattlesnakes lose portions of their rattles as they age.
