never before last walkabout had i specifically sought the camas seed, and so one revelation for me rooting around that field was that the camas pods & seeds make a most unusual and remarkable sound when disturbed. i may have heard it before in the field but never knew the cause, and would not have associated the sound with camas even this time save it was camas seed i sought & it was camas seed i found. the sound is bright, high pitched, almost like a quick & short whistle or a little...

took a while to id this as it's not in my books and no one lists 'peach' as a flower color. 
even when i found it in the state database, peach petals aren't mentioned or the blue anthers, but the 5 petals narrowed it as well as the slender leaves. photos helped a lot as they showed the reddish stems which no source mentioned in the text. 
once i id'd it, i checked my county listing of vascular plants found and this one is not there. 
this is the plant i mentioned earlier...

the beautimous little flower you see, for now, aside this post is a plant native to my area, namely Fringecup - Tellima grandiflora. that it is fringed is obvious, but less so 'grandiflora', as it is a rather not grand but small flower. so this one i collected several years ago and grew in a pot, then put it in the yard in a shady corner last year. it's thriving & i spent the last couple days harvesting the ever-so tiny seeds now matured. of the maybe 40 seeds i got i have planted a few...
