I Think this is a Iris but not 100% but it is very pretty.

100% correct. We have tons of them over here @ Long Lake (lake Spokane).

Definitely a Wild Iris and it's a Very, Very Nice Photo of it!

Beautiful flower! I picked a purple variety of that same species today along with several other eastern Oregon wildflowers.

Here's another one of my favorites from today. Anybody know the name of it?

[Malottguy]

Thanks for the compliments. This particular flower pops up in the same spot every year where I fish and I never have taken a photo LOL. Next to is what I think is a type of snap dragon. As you can tell I am not real great at identifying flowers. Of the few I know and is one of my favorites are fireweed.

.280 Lady those are gorgeous and I am also interested to know the name of that flower.

This a snapdragon? It looks like the ones my wife grows.

Malott: your first pic is yellow flag iris, a pretty but non-native, fairly invasive species that is starting to have a detrimental impact to Washington's shorelines.  Your second pic is Dalmatian toadflax, and again, although pretty (to some  ), it is a non-native, invasive species that has and continues to have a detrimental impact to our native habitat, especially our native shrub steppe.

280: that is a native camas, most likely indian camas.

I make a living killing the species that Malott posted to protect the species that 280 posted.

I didn't know they were non native because when I looked them up on multiple sites saying they were, but we know how that goes people aren't always informed even when they are "experts". The toadflax sure looks like a snap dragon so I am wondering if it is related somehow to them, I have heard of them and being invasive just didn't know what it looked like and now I do so thank you for the information.

They are both found in Douglas County along Rufus Woods, so I will be asking the Army Corps of Engineers if they are aware of the non native species. I agree I pull up invasive plants when I know what they are.
