Run run run run run-away. Book problem not resolved, Mineral King as a prescription to anxiety – works for me! (temporarily, because then I have to come home again, but I’ll just think about that tomorrow!)
Swamp Onion and Corn Lily (AKA “skunk cabbage” because it resembles the plant by that name that grows on the right coast)
Lupine
Penstemmon, the kind that doesn’t show up in any of my wildflower books
Explorer’s Gentian, my favorite!
Manzanita – both beautiful in color and texture, but ever so slightly grotesque in form
Sierra Gentian, more colorful in person but still not the awesome color of the Explorer’s Gentian
Goldenrod doesn’t usually appear until August, but this year it showed up in June!
