    This flower was found along the Pine Canyon Trail, Tonto Natioanl Forest, Pine Arizona. Elivation between 5,500 & 6,000 feet. One of the pictures shows detail of the flower. The other picture show whole plant in pre-bloom state. Any ideas?

    Definitely something in the pea family (Fabaceae)

    Yes, likely Astragalus or Oxytropis.
