Hyacinth Brodiaea

(Identity not confirmed) Hyacinth Brodiaea (Triteleia hyacinthium)

This native perennial is a member of the Lily family and grows 1 - 2 feet tall. Found in meadows and grasslands at low elevations. We spotted this one on the Labyrinth Trail near Hood River. Also called a Fool's Onion because the bulbs don't smell like an onion. (5/03/2013).
