One of the plants that shows its beautiful face for a very short time in late spring is bitterroot. The plant is actually there for several weeks but until the flower blooms it is easily overlooked. The first photo shows the leaves at their best.
As the flowers develop the leaves seem to shrivel and disappear and the plant is truly near invisible on the rocky ground. Then - overnight, it seems - the flowers unfurl and there are beautiful pink blossoms everywhere!
