The Nez Perce National Historical Park, Spalding, Idaho

I am participating in a phenology study at the Nez Perce National Historical Park in Spalding, Idaho. My role is to periodically visit individual plants of eight nationally tracked species to record their time and degree of leaf set, flowering, fruiting, etc.

While checking on my plants, I couldn't resist taking a few iNaturalist pictures - 67 observations from 43 taxa, with 19 life list firsts.

My favorite is the River Jewelwing, but there were lots of other cool species in various stages of identification.
