Labrador Tea and Bunchberry blooming at Sourdough Creek
Here are some photos I took on my recent excursion to Sourdough Creek.
The hills had been burned over within the last ten years and were covered with a vibrant growth of bog Labrador tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum–a so known as Ledum groenlandicum), willows, and other low shrubs.
There were also some open areas of birch that had been untouched by the fire where the gound was covered with bunchberry, also called ground dogwood (Cornus canadensis).
