Western Starflower - Trientalis latifolia - P.322 (could be a Northern
Starflower). It got its name because the flower stalks are so thin
as to be near invisible, making the flowers appear to be floating
by themselves, like a woodland star.

This map shows the gravel road that leads off Interstate 5,
that gives access to the final viewpoint, and saves 380 m of
elevation gain, compared to parking on Chuckanut Drive.
Many thanks to Eva Nagy for identifying some of the plants.
Please let me know about any other plants that are misindentified!
Surely some are.
If you can email the correct ID to me, I'll be very grateful
(please refer to the number above each photo).
