Lomatium macrocarpum - Carrot Family
Certainly not the most beautiful wildflower, but a wildflower all the same. This member of the carrot family is found mostly at low elevations in open areas like gravel slopes and grasslands; this plant loves sunny areas.
The root was locally used as food by local First Nations in the early spring before flowering. An infusion was created out of the plant to cure heart problems.
