Poet's Shooting-Star (Dodecatheon poeticum) has one of the most limited ranges of the naitve Dodecatheon, limited to the slopes of the the Oregon and Washington sides of the Columbia River.

The red and yellow circles at the base of the lavender petals provides nice contrast.

It is an early spring bloomer.
