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.
