Friend Mary hiked with me today checking out wildflowers in the Qi Gong meadow. I'm trying to figure out what kind of goldenrod we have or if we have more than one kind. I'll add to this post if I ever figure it out.
But the exciting thing was when we went into the Qi gong grove of fir trees by Agency Creek. Mary spotted a little plant with white veined leaves that I had never seen before. She identified it as Rattlesnake Plantain, in the orchid family. It's not blooming this time of year, but maybe it will in the spring! Not very spectacular little flowers but unique leaves.
