A year of flowers #22: Fernleaf lomatium

 

Lomatium dissectum
 
Another in our tour of Lomatiums of the Palouse, this one is unique to this area (around Whitman County and just across the border in Latah County, ID).  Elsewhere its flowers are brown, which I have never seen, but here they are yellow, as with most lomatiums.  It is a nice one to plant if you have room because they fill in an area and are shrub-sized.  As you can see in the photo, I have an area of them here, and when I collected the seeds from a patch beside the road just north of Pullman, WA, they were filling in an area just like this.
