Here's a couple of things I'll miss from Oregon.
This one is called a trillium. It grows for several years before it blossoms out, and then it only does so for two years before perishing.
This one is some kind of an iris. It was very lovely.
These are manzanita trees. They're more commonly seen in shorter, scrubby kinds of groves only about 6'-8' high. These trees were maybe 15'-20' high. The bark was incredible, growing over the dead portions of the tree, swisting and gnarled and oozing. Kind of beautiful in a macabre kind of way.
And one last one, just because I love rainbows:
These ones are called "Elegant Cat's Ear" or "Elegant Mariposa Lily". It was so small and lovely...
