Yes, definitely. It is in my book, but I just missed it. Thanks. |
An easy one to ID, because it's the ONLY mariposa lily that grows in the high mountains of southern Washington and northern Oregon.

I've never heard of the flower before. There was a ton of them, but I don't remember seeing them before. I'm guessing they are less common in the north.

Yeah, Calochortus are definitely more common south (and east) of the Columbia. Lyall's mariposa lilies do grow in the Wenatchee Mountains, as far west as Icicle Creek (in the same part of the world where you find Tweedy's lewisia), but other than that, the only ones north of I-90 are out in the sagebrush.

I've seen this on both the McClellan Butte trail and...on the other side of I90 on the Putrid Pete trail. It doesn't appear to be either coralroot or candystick, though there are some similarities. Any thoughts? As you can see it's very tall, with many umbel-shaped flowers over its height.

Excellent, thank you! It's so different than "regular" pinedrops.

Penstemon confertus. The Burke Herbarium has a few records from the Paradise area.

Probably, but there's one minor wrinkle: sometimes Penstemon procerus is white.

True, and I can't claim the expertise to be certain. But the plants in the image have some fully lanceolate leaves, and there is a second cluster of flowers below and "remote" from the main cluster. I think they are P. confertus.
Cream/white P. procerus are also found in MRNP.
