Field Notes

Description:

This plant was about a meter tall with several orange flowers with dark spots.

Habitat:

Spotted next to hwy 410 by the Naches river in the Cascade mountains. Native to western North America.

Notes:

Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth and most western Washington peoples steamed, boiled or pit-cooked its bulbs. Bitter or peppery-tasting, they were mostly used as a flavoring, often in soup with meat or fish.(Wikipedia)
