The First Spring Wildflower


 Jon found the first wildflower today.  I took several photos, but they are tiny little things so my photos are so-so.


Coptis occidentalis, Idaho Goldthread, is plant native to western North America. It is a member of the buttercup family. This plant has also been known under the binomial Chrysocoptis occidentalis and the common name western goldthread.
The Idaho goldthread is a spring flowering plant, usually found in moist coniferous forests.
