| South Sister from the south |
Here's my collection of fauna from my trip to the top of South Sister in Oregon. I didn't have a lot of time to take pictures of wildflowers and plants along the way as the hike was a long one and we had limited time.
Enjoy the pictures. The plants pictured below were very common along the trail. These plants are only a few of the vast amount of fauna around South Sister.
 |
| Alpine Buckwheat Eriogonum pyrolifolium If you take the time to smell this plant's flowers you'll know why the common name is 'dirty socks' |
 |
| Paintbrush Castilleja I'm not sure which species of Paintbrush this is. If you know please let me know. |
 |
| Dwarf Mountain Lupine Lupinus lyallii |
 |
| Possibly.... Sulphur Buckwheat Eriogonum umbellatum |
 |
| Partridgefoot Luetkea pectinata |
 |
| Tolmie's Saxifrage Saxifraga tolmiei |
 |
| Davidson's Penstemon Penstemon davidsonii |
 |
| Not sure what type of grass this is but i found it above 9,000 ft |
 |
| I'm guessing here... Mountain Arnica Arnica latifolia If eaten this plant will cause a rise in body temperature.If applied on skin it is an antiseptic. Europeans and North Americans used Arnica in herbal remedies. |

| Can you find the frog? |
 |
| Can you find the ground squirrel? |
Common names, scientific names and all info for each plant was taken from "Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast" by Pojar and Mackinnon
