Great Camas: the 83rd Flower of Spring!

(please scroll down for 3 more pictures!)

Our property has two seasonal streams, and the larger of the two has some our most beautiful flowers growing along its edges throughout spring and early summer. I was so excited when this one began blooming!

The Great Camas grows in the Pacific Northwest and has a white variety as well as this lovely blue-purple flower. Its bulb were a food source of Native Americans, but today its beauty has elevated it to that of a exquisite and sought-after garden flower. It's no wonder this is one of my favorites! :)

NOTE! I'll be taking Saturday off but will have more pictures up on Sunday night...have a great weekend!!
