Wet year!

These plants have been either in standing water or totally saturated soil since the second or third big storm. So far, they’re thriving – since they’re adapted to being seasonally wet. There are some experimental Camassia bulbs in this area, too – a plant that supposedly thrives in swampy conditions in spring. So far, no sign of life from them.
