Sagebrush buttercup (Ranunculus glaberrimus), Washington/Idaho border, east of Palouse.
This one isn't in my prairie, either. My two clumps seem unwilling to go for a bloom this year (maybe they're slow?), and they have been overtaken by the Grass widows, which are putting on a show already. I want to post buttercups first because, truly, the buttercup is the first Spring flower here. Buttercups have been coming up in sunny spots on Kamiak Butte and other bits of native prairie for a few weeks now. I went to one of my favorite sites this morning so I could find one in bloom.
