No. 9 - Brodiaea elegans - Postcard Set of 10

Brodiaea elegans, also known as harvest Brodiaea, is a perennial herb emerging from an underground corm. It is native to California and Oregon and can be found growing in grassy meadows and open woodlands.

This species is one of the later blooming native wildflowers in some areas, blooming at the end of spring as other species are dying down for summer dormancy. In some habitats, its brilliant blueish-purple flowers wave in stark contrast to a sea of tan as the meadow around them dries.
