Spring along the creeks is fantastic here. Within the rivers, an amazing plant is sprouting pink fleshy shoots of flowers from a twist of tuberous roots submerged in the water. I do not recall the name of this plant. Come summer time, it has large green leaves that gives a tropical feel to the river.
Also along the edges of the rivers, in meadow areas that were underwater, comes a delicate orchid, the fairy slipper,
Calypso bulbosa.

On the open slopes, a white native lily sprouts and fuzzy pussy ears lily (
Calochortus tolmiei), like the sego lily in ID but fuzzy.
