Found this low wildflower at about 5,000 feet elevation in Olympic National Park in WA. On

Succulent plant found in the desert on BLM land near Pyramid Lake.

As seen in one of the photos, this jewelflower is growing out of a crack in exposed serpentine - amazing! Also, I now know that bumble bees are one of the pollinators.

Relatively large population of around 40 individuals, of which about a third were in bloom.

groupe O. mammosa

I was surprised that Hedysarum occidentale (Western Sweetvetch) was much smaller than in Badger Valley, and much pinker (not purple)

I didn't look closely at these Chimaphila umbellata (Prince's-pine) blossoms, and only noticed later they were sprinkled with tiny insects!

Red mountain-heather on Hurricane Ridge

This was a new wintergreen for me, Pyrola picta, or White-veined Wintergreen, growing in the sun along the Grand Ridge trail at 5000'.

About a dozen Campanula scouleri (Scouler’s Harebell) were growing at about 5,000' along the Switchback Trail.
