5. Black-eyed Susans are flowering plants that grow over three feet tall. They have green leaves up to six inches long. • Black-eyed Susans grow in open woods, gardens, fields, and roadsides. They grow quickly in just about any kind of soil. • These plants are most easily recognized by their flowers. They have yellow flowers with a brownish-purple center. Flowers are two to three inches across and grow on a stalk up to eight inches long. • Black-eyed Susans are very competitive and can push other plants out of an area.

8. Bull Thistle is a prickly wildflower which most people consider an annoying weed. Its stems, branches, and leaves are covered with spikes and you should be careful when touching it. Bull Thistles have pretty purple to pink flowers, one to two inches wide. Leaves are three to six inches long. Bull Thistles can reach six feet tall. This plant, which is in the Sunflower family, can grow in fields, gardens, and roadsides. Bull Thistle is an introduced plant, but is now common. Bull Thistle blooms from July to September. After the flower has finished blooming, the fruits produce "thistledown," small seeds with fluffy stuff on them. This type of seed is called an achene. Achenes are transported by wind to new places so new Bull Thistles can grow.

11. Golden Poppy blossoms are 2-3 inch cups of gold, bronze, scarlet, terra cotta, rose or white. Golden Poppy bloom on plants with silvery green foliage, about a foot high and usually broader than they are tall. Golden Poppy flowers are seen from February to September. The Golden Poppy flowers are 1-2 inches across, with four wide fan-shaped petals, and many stamens.

14. Catesby’s trillium falls within the pedicellate group. This beautiful spring wildflower’s flower is on a recurved pedicel that curls back under the leaves often obscuring it from view. Flowers are typically seen from late March through June. It is distinguished by its nodding white, pink, or rose colored flowers with egg-yolk yellow anthers and its widely spaced leaves that are rolled inwardly along the length of the leaf. This unusual leaf morphology allows the flower to be more readily observed. Catesby’s trillium tends to occur in drier habitats and is typically found on acid soils, or dry woods.

17. Columbine is found throughout the Eastern half of the United States and grows in a variety of soil and light conditions that range from woodland edges to riverbanks, and gravelly shores and ridges. Columbine is a beautiful, native wildflower that blooms in late spring with striking 1.5 inch red and yellow flowers held on long stems. It is pollinated by hummingbirds and butterflies

20. The common or orange daylily is a bulbous perennial plant growing 2-4 feet tall. It has round stems. The leaves are long, linear, strap-like, bright green, 1-3 feet and curve towards the ground. The showy flowers are large, orange and usually have some striping. They occur in clusters of 5-9 at the tip of the stalk. The flowers in a cluster will bloom one at a time, each for one day only.

23. low, spreading plant with silvery-downy stems and yellow flowers blooming singly on long stalks rising from the axils of palmately 5-parted leaves.This species is very similar to Common Cinquefoil, but the latter has larger leaflets, up to 2 1/2 (6.3 cm) long, and the first flower arises from theaxil of the second leaf. Both species are indicators of impoverished soil.

26. Creeping Oregon-grape or creeping barberry is a stoloniferous, sprawlingevergreen of stiff habit with small, fragrant, yellow flowers in drooping racemes, followed by showy, purple fruit. The leathery, holly-like, compound leaves are a muted green, some turning mauve, rose, and rust-colored in winter. The plant grows 1-3 ft. in height.

30. bears a single, showy flower on a single, dainty, purple stem. The petals and sepals of each intricate and colourful flower are held above a large, highly-modified petal (called the lip) like a crown. The lip is a slipper-shaped pouch, hence this plant’s common name. The flowers, which emit a distinct, pleasant, vanilla-like aroma, range in colour from rich purple, through shades of pink to white and are lightly veined, while the lip is white to purple with purplish spots, and the inside of the pouch is lined with purple to reddish veins. The area near the throat of the pouch is decorated with three ridges, bearing white or yellow hairs. Each plant has a single, dark green, oval leaf measuring up to 3.5 centimetres long. Both the single leaf and flower stem rise from a shallow corm, with few, short and slender roots

33. Indian Pipe, also known as “Corpse Plant,” is one of the easiest plants to recognize. Unlike most plants, Indian Pipe doesn’t have chlorophyll, the stuff that makes plants green. Indian Pipe is a waxy, whitish color. It turns black when it gets old. • Indian Pipe grows only four to ten inches tall. It has flowers that droop and tiny, scale-like leaves. When they look at it, most people think Indian Pipe is a fungus. • Indian Pipe is usually seen from June to September. It grows in shady woods with rich soil and decaying plant matter. This plant is often found near dead stumps.

35. Potato plants are herbaceous perennials that grow about 60 cm (24 in) high, depending on variety, the culms dying back after flowering. They bear white, pink, red, blue, or purple flowers with yellow stamens. In general, the tubers of varieties with white flowers have white skins, while those of varieties with colored flowers tend to have pinkish skins. Potatoes are cross-pollinated mostly by insects, including bumblebees, which carry pollen from other potato plants, but a substantial amount of self-fertilizing occurs as well.

38. Yellow Pond Lily has thick leaves, which can be round or heart-shaped. They are large, growing up to 12 inches wide. The leaves are attached to a long stalk which extends down into the water and into the mud below. When the water level drops (especially in rivers, streams, or marshes affected by tides), the leaves will be above the water. When the water level rises again, the leaves will float on the water.

41. Today, the tallest reach only about 6 feet. Smooth Horsetail can be recognized by the bare green stem with a cone at the top; dark bands every few inches up the stem; and few, if any, branches along the stem. • These plants do not produce flowers. Instead they produce cones, which can be seen growing atop the stem during the spring and then dried into summer and fall. • Horsetails require wet soils, and so are uncommon in the desert. However, they are fairly common components of vegetation associations in wet areas around streams and springs.

44. his perennial plant is ½–2' tall, branching occasionally. The hairy stems are sprawling or erect. The alternate compound leaves are trifoliate. The lower compound leaves have long hairy petioles, while the upper leaves have short petioles or they are sessile. The leaflets are up to 2" long and ¾" across. They are oval-ovate or slightly obovate; sometimes they are a little broader below the middle. Their margins are smooth and ciliate and their tips are blunt. Toward the middle of the upper surface of each leaflet, there is usually a chevron that is white or light green. The leaflets are sessile and lack petioles of their own. At the base of each compound leaf, there is a pair of ovate stipules up to ½" long. The upper stems terminate in flowerheads that are spheroid or ovoid. Usually there are 1-3 leaflets immediately beneath each flowerhead, as well as several green bracts with tips that abruptly taper to a slender tip. Each flowerhead is about 1" across and consists of numerous flowers. These flowers are sessile, tubular-shaped, and spread outward in different directions. Each flower has 5 narrow petals that are pink or purplish pink, becoming light pink or white toward the base of the flowerhead; a rare form of this species with white petals also exists. The upper petal is slightly longer than the lower petals. The light green calyx of each flower has 5 slender teeth and it is usually hairy. 

47. The zig-zag arching stalks are from 1-5 ft. long. Nodding, greenish-white, tubular flowers hang in pairs from the axils of the oval, conspicuously veined leaves. Hanging from the leaf axils on an arching stem are a few (often 2) greenish-white, bell-like flowers. Blue berries follow the flowers of this perennial. The root is rhizomatous but non-colonizing.

50. The blue flowers of Large-flowered Triplet-lily are bell-shaped when open, and reminiscent of a gentian when closed, as most seemed to be on the plants I observed at around 4500 feet elevation on June 8 in the Boise Foothills. The flower has 6 tepals (typical of the lily family) – 3 inner and 3 outer – and 6 stamens.  It will be about 1 to 2 feet tall or a bit taller, growing in dry meadows, sagebrush, and pine forests. To us easterners, it has the appearance of an onion species with large flowers, but there was no detectable aroma. There are blue and white varieties.
