Looks like it has to be Virginia Bluebells - probably escaped from someone's garden out there, as it is native to eastern US. You can obtain plants or seeds from nurseries, catalogs, etc., however. They are a very hardy perennial so I guess I'm not too surprised to see that they've taken up residence out west. In fact, they are a woodland species, so I imagine they'd absolutely THRIVE in the rainforest region of the Northwest, as long as fungi leave them alone. Also, it appears that the yellow flowers in the pic are Canada Lilies, also called Meadow Lilies. One cannot help but admire the beauty of these two very striking and gorgeous flowers. Thank You, Deb G. - Uncasville, CT
