Thank you! Taken with my completely plastic 28-80mm lens, which I bought for $21.

Had a nice respiratory therapy walk in the Tronsen Ridge area yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the abundance and variety of wildflowers.
Do I have the correct ID for this gorgeous little blue wildflower?

Most of these flowers look like the edible common blue camas. But there are several white flowers that are also in the picture which appear to be the poisonous death camas. They can share the same area.

Looks to be cow parsnip. Bear will eat the entire plant in the spring because there is nothing else to eat. But this family, Apiaceae, has two of the most deadly plants in North America as members, water hemlock and poison hemlock. It is neither of those. Poison hemlock I see all over the place while biking in Seattle. Water hemlock likes it feet to be wet next to a stream or lake.

Yes, common camas, (Camassia quamash) There is also large camas (Camassia leichtlinii) which blooms later. These meadows were cultivated by Native Americans. There is plenty of death camas (Zigadenus venenosus var. venenosus) interspersed but there is none in my above photo. That's common dandelion go to seed.  If one were to look very closely you might see some chocolate lilies (Fritillaria affinis). They just past peak now. And the more elusive Idaho Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium idahoense)

This isn't a very bountiful wildflower year, maybe the cool dry spring. Here it is in past years...

I found these wildflowers east of Blewett Pass yesterday. I could not find them in my wildflower book. Can anyone ID them?

Geum triflorum is the first one; common names are prairiesmoke and old man's whiskers (it's really cool-looking when it finishes blooming and sends its seeds - see pics in this broad's trip report.
The 2nd is a type of saxifrage, but I'm not hip on which it might be.
That 3rd - seems like the skinny curvey leaf looks Hooker's onion-esque. But that's a wild-assed guess.

Thanks, Kim! I did go back through the book and find the “old man’s whiskers”, love that name! They didn’t look quite like the flowers I saw, but I think it was because it they were of a more advanced age than the ones I saw.
The possible Hooker’s Onions I saw were very yellow with no trace of pink. I wonder if they are just a subset, it sounds like the Hooker’s are pink. Thanks for your input, much appreciated!
