      Mia – This is also found in Utah. I had an incorrect link / scientific name in the post originally, but it has now been corrected; that page includes a distribution map. I’ve seen it in Idaho in large areas in wet fields that looked blue like a pond. These were at relatively high elevations – near Stanley, and also between Cascade and McCall.

    Camassia Quamash – I live in New York State and have a large area of these plants in full bloom.
    And now I have a name for them.

    I just discovered a patch of these pretty little flowers in a park in Beaverton, Oregon. I knew the Native American’s ate the bulbs, but this is the first time I have seen then.
