My family was at camp with friends this last weekend. The day we were leaving back home, my family went on a walk through the forest. I found some flowers and plants that I liked and I picked them for this bouquet.In the above photo you can see (from L to R) Maiden Hair fern, an Acer variety (of some sort), Indian Pipe, and Western Hemlock. We are unable to figure out the stems in the back, so I guess it's just a weed!
We camped an hour from Mt. St. Helens in the Cascade Mountains. We like to visit a little store called the 'Randal One Stop' on hwy 12.
When we first saw the Indian Pipe we thought it must be in the mushroom family. It isn't but uses a fungus to help it grow.This is not an edible native plant.

What a wonderful sounding trip and such a pretty bouquet. Thanks for sharing it with me. Have a great week. Do you have Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant chains in your state? In my post entitled Colors-Red, look for the really big chicken on top of our KFC!!!
Nice bouquet Abby, glad you all had a good time.
I actually took a lot of photos of this plant, Jim called it Chicken of the forest I think and tried to use a bit of it for his and Joey's "feather" in the scavenger hunt.I had so much fun and am always astounded by God's own landscaping and floral arrangements!
That's a really interesting plant! I'd never seen it before and didn't spot that one out there in the woods - good eye!
