Northwest Balsamroot
This handsome plant is what I call the "pin up" of area wildflowers. You'll see photos of balsamroot (Balzamorhiza deltoidia) on almost every calendar in the west and on nearly every website designed for visitors! It's a spectacularly showy flower and in groups can be stunning. Locally, the Gorge has the most easily seen spreads, typically in late April to mid-May.
