Whitebark Raspberry (Rubus leucodermis)Observer
sentraevantDescription
Can you tell if this is the native one or a garden variety volunteer? The other possibility on the county plant list is Rubus leucodermis. The few plants I've seen are struggling due to high heats summers so I uploaded this 2009 photo when they looked healthier.

emilyschererDescription
An abundance of leaf variation in the foamflowers on this trail…
This was the only one I saw that approaches var. lacinatus. It was next to several var. trifoliata. Some of the latter had upper leaves that were not fully trifoliate, still connected at the leaf base on one or both sides.
