Flower power

Stop and smell the pepsissewa.

I found a rather uncommon wildflower (Menzie's pepsissewa) on a hike yesterday and ID'd it on a new (to me) plant reference site.  If you don't already know about the site and the photographer's book(s), this is one to check out before or after your next foray into the wilds of Oregon or Washington.

It was a wonderful day.
