Townsendia hookeri Photo May 1, 2001 by Larry Halverson |
It is called Low Townsendia because it is only about one inch high. This almost stemless plant would go unnoticed if it wasn’t for the large white to pink ray flowers surrounding the yellow disk. It blooms in early spring on dry hillsides. This endangered plant was photographed in the Columbia Valley National Wildlife Management Area only a few meters from the wetlands.
