  1. Another candelabrum tree, Thuja plicata, redcedar, on a street corner. It overpowers the house next to it and intimidates pedestrians. As it should.

  6. I think the western redcedars (Thuja plicata) are competing with banyans for trunk structures

    The tree roots lift the sidewalk blocks, hence the blue warning stripe.

  7. A couple of native flowers from the dog walk: Cooley's hedge nettle (Stachys cooleyae) and self-heal (Prunella vulgaris var lanceolata), both in the mint family (Lamiaceae)

  8. Fireweed or rosebay willowherb (Chamaenerion angustifolium) growing in summer grasses. These are shorter plants. They get to be 6 ft tall (approx 2 m)

  9. A little botanizing with rose hips. 1. Baldhip rose hip, you can see why! 2. Peafruit rose hips, also small and closely clustered. 3. Nootka rose hips, about 3 times the size of peafruit rose. 4. Peafruit roses are still blooming!

  10. Ookow flowers (Dichelostemma congestum) atop a long, snaky bare stem. The leaves look like strappy grass, and are hard to spot amid the grass!

    I learned that the leaves wilt before the flowers open, so you probably couldn't see them anyhow.

  11. A yellow-faced bumblebee on California lilac. I gather honeybees avoid the Ceanothus but obviously bumblebees like it. The bumblebees did not stop moving for me.

  12. Common camas (Camassia quamash) in two shades. They can range from pale blue to deep purple blue. They spread by seed and bulb division. They were a main food source for coastal tribes.

  13. Flowers now, berries later: a thimbleberry flower (Rubus parviflorus) amid its huge leaves, and a salal (Gaultheria shallon) stem of barely open, very hairy flowers.

  14. Red huckleberry (Vaccinium parviflorum). I almost missed the flowers this year! They're so green! Two weeks ago i thought I had plenty of time. Now they've mostly set fruit.

  15. What is this? A fine salad green!
    Miner's lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata) is really going to town! It is very tasty when freshly picked.

    I may plant it next winter along with my mache

  16. Red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa) growing in the woods understory. Apparently indigenous peoples used the flowering of this shrub as a, signal to fish halibut.

  17. Wild ginger (Asarum caudatum) on the park trail. I usually miss the flowers, but decided to stop and check today. Of course, the mud made walking interesting #Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleParks #SeattleSpring #CowenPark #NativePlants #NativePlantsOfThePNW #BloomScrolling
