Can anyone identify the wildflower in this photo? Photo was taken today (12 May) near Oliver, BC. Thanks, Adrian
Very nice! I believe that is Lewisia rediviva, commonly known as bitter root or sandhill rose. Resources: Lewisia rediviva from the Wildflowers of Southern Interior British Columbia web site (the Living Landscapes project, which is a collaboration between OUC and RBCM) The Desert Centre of Osoyoos Plants Page Lewisia rediviva from the USDA Plants Database Lewisia rediviva from the Smithsonian's "Lewis and Clark as Naturalists" web site.
Bitterroot Thanks Daniel for the speedy reply. It most definitely appears to be Bitterroot Lewisia rediviva Thanks also for the reference material ... some interesting reading! Adrian
