    Had a lovely hike last week on Hurricane Ridge, in Washington State's Olympic National Park. Though it is July, at 5500 feet of altitude it feels like early Spring - there is still snow on the ground, though wildflowers are popping through in the meadows. Surprisingly for a National Park, there was very little ID information available for the vegetation.
    I wonder if anyone could help me identify these flowers?

    E. montanum. Lupinus spp. are many in number, regional guidebooks or floras should be consulted when not already familiar with the lupines of a particular area.
