Our bog is still where we left it.
Last year we saw Calochortus howellii in bloom in late August. Found those same plants again this year. This species usually blooms in early July, so it's very unusual. These plants are also unusual in that they are growing in moist ground, which is usually instant death for this species... I think Calochortus howellii ssp kouzesii is appropriate.
Gentiana setigera grows right next to the Darlingtonia.
Lilium bolanderi capsule.
Triantha occidentalis ssp occidentalis: a late bloomer. I'd love to get some seeds but it's always just like this when we arrive.
A short but nice trip. I don't know if we'll be able to go camping at all next year, so it might be until 2013 before I can get some more pictures from Southern Oregon. I plan on going in April 2013 to, hopefully, see the Fritillaria recurva among other things. We've also postponed the backpacking trip to the Wallowa Mountains until July 2013. Jackson Hole July 2012, though!
