Found many brodiaea, even a patch.
Lots on cross trail.
In Washington state, two species of Brodiaea are native: Brodiaea coronaria (also known as crown brodiaea or harvest brodiaea) and Brodiaea rosea (also known as Indian Valley Brodiaea). Both are perennial herbs with corms, and are found in various habitats like meadows, prairies, and open areas.
Brodiaea coronaria (crown brodiaea/harvest brodiaea) is found chiefly west of the Cascade crest, from British Columbia south to California. It is known for its bright purple, bell-shaped flowers and is found in meadows, dry hillsides, and open grassy areas. Native Americans traditionally harvested its edible bulbs.
Found a purple brodiaea in the flower bed along Oakwood on the left side going up between Bowthorpe and 28th.
