Spring Camping in Eastern Washington     

If winter was a good time to camp - no people, potential for some early blooming wildflowers - then Spring is ideal. A couple of weeks back I headed for Frenchman's Coulee in Eastern Washington to spend the night wildcamping among the sagebrush. A few things were up, such as our little native yellow fritillary.

Prairie Star

Gray's biscuitroot

 

Sage buttercup (Ranunculus glaberrimus)

Woolly-pod milk-vetch (Astragalus purshii)

 

Fritillary - fritillatia pudica

Granite prickly phlox or granite gilia - Linanthus pungens

 

Allium crenolatum
