Kathy,

I put up another photo that somewhat shows what looks like lanceolate 
leaves. 

I am hoping it is the Synthyris schizantha, that Kruckeberg says is 
rare, and that I can go back soon and collect a few seeds, but need an ID first so I know what I am dealing 
with. What a beautiful plant and would really like to have in my 
Native Garden. I was so tired after along day of hiking and 
photographing the alpine plants in the mountains that unfortunately 
when we stopped on the way down, I didn't take notes or photos of the 
foliage. Thanks for the help and maybe the next photo will help 
ID it better. 

Does anyone know of a key for plants in the Olympics? My field guides 
are not helping on this plant.
