Sitka brome is a shade-tolerant native brome often found in the Willamette Valley in woodlands with Blue-Wildrye. It has long flowering stems and nodding flower stalks.

Gorgeous! Salmon pink flower heads, very showy! 2-3 ft tall. The blue pollen colors the legs of tiny native bumblebees that forage on the flowers.

This native annual is most often found in dry, rocky outcrops and does best without competition from perennials. It has numerous baby-blue, globe-like flowers in heads. 3-5 ft tall.

Beautiful, soft, fine leaved bunch grass, spike of soft tan flowers, low growing, 3 ft in flower.

Willow dock is native to many moist habitats throughout the west. Its habitat value in our native western Oregon prairies is not as a pollinator plant (it is wind-pollinated) but as a larval host-plant for butterflies such as the rare Great Copper. Restoration efforts are underway in the Willamette Valley to restore populations by providing both the nectar source, Grindelia integrifolia (gumweed), and the host-plant willow dock.
