Great Basin Flowers part 10

I figure this will probably wrap up the Great Basin Flower series. There were many more flowers, but I hit the highlights. I also didn't want to do consecutive flower posts.
Hydrophyllum capitatum was growing along the road to the Success Summit, north of Cave Lake state park.

Lithophragma was growing with the Balsalmroot near the Mather Overlook in the NP.

All week in the valley I kept looking for the prickly pear to be flowering. Found it along the road to the NP in Snake Valley.

This was one of the more interesting shrubs in the valley. It wasn't ever abundant, but individuals would be scattered. Tetradymia canescens or horsebrush

I find I like Zigadenus more just because it is called Death Camas.
