Governor Chris Gregoire recently proclaimed Native Plant Appreciation Week for the State of Washington.
What better way to appreciate our native plants than to get out and enjoy them as they are in bloom RIGHT NOW!!! Here are some examples of these beautiful native plants and flowers. Your help would also be appreciated by going to this link to identify unknown flowers. Also, you can get more information on local native plants at the Columbia Basin Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society web site! Special thanks to chapter member Mickie Chamness!
Douglas Brodiaea (Triteleia grandiflora)
Larkspur (Delphinium nuttallianum)
Lupine
