Sierra corydalis 🎕 Lassen Volcanic National Park 🎕 Northern California Wildflowers

The hike to Ridge Lakes (in Lassen Volcanic National Park) was bursting with wildflowers in early August!

After some digging, I found that these pink beauties are called Sierra corydalis, also known as Brandegee's fumewort. I tell ya, sometimes the names of these flowers just don't do their beauty justice! Should the word "wort" be associated in any way with a flower of any kind? I didn't think so...
