This blog is a more-or-less chronological journal of wildflower discoveries and other natural curiosities we experience in Oregon and beyond. Our goal is to admire and note as we visit parks, trails, or other natural places.

Common Camas
The Common Camas (Camassia quamash) is blooming now in our area. As you can see they thrive in open meadows. The Camas bulbs were a favorite food among Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest -- along with salmon, of course. We spotted these at Champoeg State Park yesterday. (5/01/2013)
These are about a foot high.
Al scopes out the Camas in the off-leash area of the park.
