May 16, 2024: Camas Prairie (Mt. Hood National Forest, Oregon)

The wild cranberries in Camas Prairie (which is really more of a mid-elevation bog) were just starting to bud in mid-May. I went back in July and found that they were mostly finished blooming... so apparently the time to see them in flower is June.
