Northwest Balsamroot, Lupine, and Barbed Wire Fence on Dalles Mountain Road.
Here is another photo of Columbia Gorge Broadleaf Lupine (Lupinus latifolia var. thompsonianus) and Northwest Balsamroot (Balsamorhiza deltoidia) taken along Dalles Mountain Road. I shot this one through a barbed wire fence. Lupine and Balsamroot grow intermixed here. They bloom in April, and mid-April is usually the peak time for Balsamroot.
