There is just one population of these here, along a seep on the cliff face that is just upriver from where the Bonneville power lines cross the Columbia River.

Iler Creek Conservation Area, Rocks of Sharon trail. I don't believe that this is a native species, but found some distance from the nearest human habitation.

I assumed this was Pacific Trillium due to the range, but the picture comparison seems to be more similar to Trillium grandiflorum.

This harebell not like other harebells I've seen. Could this be C. Latisepala?

Shining Netvein Barberry (Berberis dictyota)Observer
jonaskatDescription
Growing from a seep/crack at the base of a huge rock/cliff and in the grass/ground nearby. Plants visible from the nearest stretch of Bouquet Canyon Road.
Seemingly the only place I could find Berberis sp. growing in the general vicinity on this side of the rocks. Shows evidence of growing back from a burl after fire damage. Lots of young/new growth.
Coincidentally, the underside of the leaves looks very similar to that from Palmer's oak (Quercus palmeri). Both plants are similarly very spiky.
