This tiny baldhip rose (Rosa gymnocarpa) is about as big as the tip of my thumb. This year is the first time I've spotted them. #Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleSpring #NativePlants #NativePlantsOfThePNW #BloomScrolling #SeattleParks #RavennaPark

A Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana) shedding perfume on the trail. Gather ye rose blooms while you may, they die before the end of May.

You only need one or two wild roses open to get bathed in heavenly perfume. This marsh rose (Rosa pisocarpa) beckoned from afar

Flowers now, berries later: a thimbleberry flower (Rubus parviflorus) amid its huge leaves, and a salal (Gaultheria shallon) stem of barely open, very hairy flowers.

Red huckleberry (Vaccinium parviflorum). I almost missed the flowers this year! They're so green! Two weeks ago i thought I had plenty of time. Now they've mostly set fruit.

Piggyback plant(Tolmiea menziesii) the same one people grow as an indoor plant, flourishes along streambanks around here.
