Shooting stars (Dodecatheon pulchellum) in bloom
Grassland saxifrage (Saxifraga integrifolia), also in bloom
I transplanted several clumps of these two plants from a threatened spot last year. I wasn't sure if they would survive, but I put them in exactly the same sort of habitat they were in, and I was happy to see that not only were they blooming this year, but they had spread.
Meanwhile, in the north part of the prairie, Nine-leaf lomatiums (Lomatium triternatum) that have taken 4-5 years to get mature are at last putting out some nice blooms this year. Many camas are coming up in this area, so I'm hoping that I really get to see a camas bloom this year...
